FAQ
Q: Can I add a checkmark icon to selected tags?
A: At the moment icons are not supported. However, you can achieve this effect by adding a ✓ Unicode character with Corvid. Check out this example.
Q: Can I use Selection Tags for single-selection?
A: Almost, but not quite. You can achieve similar behavior with Corvid, but it will suffer from accessibility issues (namely, keyboard navigation and screen-reader will not behave as expected). We are aware of the demand for this feature, which is likely to comprise our first follow-up release.
Q: Can I limit the number of tags a visitor can select?
A: Yes, with Corvid. See this example.

This is a great update release with regards to the API resources, but I keep wondering, what is great about having the option to be able to select items and submit the selected items to a database without having the option to display tags submitted to the database with the same selection Tags element. At least Wix should give us an element (similar to the selection tags) that can be dedicated to displaying tag items from a database. I have tried to, but if anyone was able to connect the Selection Tags element to display tags from a database field using the "options" or any of the other Corvid API functions, please advise or share. Thanks
