I seen the following in the most recent nightly changelog:

> **6429: Moving a Tag with History causes duplicate sqlth\_te records to get created**  
> Fixed moving tags with history creating duplicate sqlth\_te records.

Can someone explain what exactly the bug did and what this fixes?

Thanks,

The title is perhaps more exciting than the actual fix.  
From my read of the bug, it's basically that if you had a tag rapidly storing history, then renamed it (from history's perspective, retiring the old and creating a single new tag) you would instead end up with multiple "new" entries in sqlth\_te.

This does _not_ do anything to make migrating history between tags easier, or automatically redirect old data, or anything like that. Just fixes an edge case.

Oh. I'm super disappointed now.

Thanks for the clarification

Are there any plans to make moving tags and retaining history easier/automatic? On the surface it seems pretty straightforward - just updating the path in sqlth\_te. Is the devil in the details though?

I'm not deeply involved in the tag system. I know this is an area where they're aware of how painful it is for folks. I'm not sure what technical complications there might be.
