cp tag assignments getting mixed up

hi,

I think we have encountered a bug. There are rare occasions when we have two users assigning cp tags to their respective articles at the same time and the tags were not assigned correctly. Specifically for example, the cp tags for article A got applied to article B, and article A got 0 tags. Is this possible with the way custom properties is coded at the moment?

Thanks

It is indeed possible in some limited circumstances.

When you create an article, the article has no ID to attach the tags to. Only after you save it, it gets a proper ID. Therefore, before saving, any tags you assign to it is actually assigned to articles with ID equal to 0.
After the first save the plugin looks tags assigned to articles with ID = 0 and reassign them to the actual item ID of the article.

There's an easy workaround: save the article (and then continue editing if you wish so) *before* assigning tags.
