Ability to change the color of the tags from the view template level

Ability to change the color of the tags from the view template level

Will be nice to have ability to change the color of the tags from the View Template level. For example, there could be an additional parameter for rooms in Visibility/Graphic Overrides > Annotation Categories > Room Tags. Currently the tag color change is done in two stages and cannot be controlled by View Template. Only the color of the Box that is used for numbering can be changed in V/G. The color of the text itself must be changed in the family:

In fact, it would be better if the complete text style (color, font, size, bold/italic, width factor etc.) in tags wasn't applied in the family, but applied as a text style in the project as a type parameter, so the tags would use the exact same styles as the project.

 

When editing the tag family, a default system font could be used for preview/display purposes.

@MOR-ConorMacken: It seems quite right for me. Your idea should bring consistency across the entire project. There should be an option to set up the project font globally, like a global parameter or a project parameter.

Better yet, allow tags to be “searchable” with filters. If I can search a family for parameter data, I would like to be able to search for the same parameter data within a tag. 

 

For example: if I wanted to color code electrical fixtures AND their tag based on the panel a fixture is fed from, this would be great.
