Son of Stupid Tag Question

[Mettius]

Does an option intrinsically have a tag?

Example: given an option with unique id:

Bear_Arm

Is it referenceable via a tag expression? Or must one manually assign a tag to the option when defining it?

*Edit: I'm now not even sure one can assign a tag to an option. I can't seem to find a way to do it. There is no option to assign a tag via the ABC Gui to an option, only to a unit. Is this correct?

You can't tag an option, you can tag the unit or item if an option is selected:

if option[option name].selection > 0) then

var tagRet as number
tagRet = unit.assign[tag group.tag name]
endif

You can also assign a tag as part of the pre-link script for an item (since iirc you said the option is for the selection of an item). I do this in a few places for the x-wing data files. Check out a few of the title upgrades.
