I think you're saying that you selected <Multiple> and all tags were deleted? Unfortunately, when you select multiple tasks common tags aren't listed separately, so there's no simple way to do this en masse currently. Sorry for any inconvenience.

In case you're not using the tag elsewhere, you could delete it from the Settings (on the Tags tab) in which case it will be removed from your tasks.

I would also like that feature. I'd like to be able to select a few tasks (from different lists) and tag them with "TODAY". Those will be the ones I try to tackle today (independent of their actual due dates), and I can look at them in the saved "tag:TODAY" search. I know that is possible. But at the end of the day I want to remove the "TODAY" tag from them again.

Your workaround of deleting that tag from the Settings would actually work in this case, although I don't like to go to the settings for this.

Maybe allow some smart syntax in the tag field? Adding one tag after adds it to all, maybe something like inputing -tag could remove it from all?

I would love to see this feature as well. Some simple syntax like "-tag", although I have tags that begin with -, so that's not perfect.
