Forget it. Looks like I needed to set tags lower, in “Actor” tab

Thank You So Much!!!

I was stuck on this for soooo long.

For that matter - why are there 2 sections to add tags?

The first tag section is a property on the StaticMeshComponent. The sphere placed within your level is an actor that has tags unique to that instance. So if you want to query the actor’s tags - you need to have set the tag for the actor and not the parent class. I just wish there was some color coding or something on this details panel that might help reduce the time suck.

Thanks for this, it has been driving me crazy!!! Life saver.
