Multiple tag assign to task

(closed account) says:
When I enter a task with a tag in the middle of a sentence, any words after that is treated as tag but not when its at the start of the sentence. For example,

Remember to collect #milk from john today 3pm.

#milk, #john # today #3pm will created as tag but

#milk Remember to collect milk from john today 3pm.
only #milk will be created as tag.

Is this how it suppose to work? My intention is actually to have #milk as tag only but uses the 1st example to construct my task. According to the SmartAdd help, only #words will be treated as tag, is this a bug or has the feature change?

Hi sanng,
When adding tasks, Smart Add expects to see the task name first, followed by the due date. After that, the properties may be specified in any order. While other orders (such as tag first) may work in some cases, it's best to enter tasks in this format.

Therefore, it's not currently possible to specify a tag in the middle of the task name as in your first example. Smart Add assumes that "Remember to collect" is the task name, followed by a list of tags.

Hope that helps!

That clear things up. Thanks!
BTW, it would be great if we can see the tags in the RTM chrome extension.

Cheers!
