Deal tags for specific stages

When creating tags on deals can we filter deal tags based on the Deal stage property.

Yeah, we totally need this. It seems like a rather arbitrary omission for filtering. I have a landscaping company and they want to flag a deal if it's missing line items but only after gets to a certain point in the pipeline. Any time before that the tag is just cluttering up the pipeline.

I was shocked when I realized I couldn't use deal stage as filter for tags. Why wouldn't this be an option? It should be obvious that some tags will only be relevant on certain stages. And we might want to have a tag use slightly different logic for one stage vs another.

Here in 2024 with a need for filtering deal tags by deal stage! It makes so much sense to have this feature.

+1. As a previous user said: "It should be obvious that some tags will only be relevant on certain stages. And we might want to have a tag use slightly different logic for one stage vs another."

This should definitely be a filter.

 

Suggested workarounds:

- Custom property set by workflow to filter on
- Use a list as a filter criteria
- Printscreen and print your pipeline every day, put them on a whiteboard, and draw a colorful tags

Voting for this feature to be prioritized! We want our tags to appear on any active deals and NOT on closed lost deals. A simple and logical application - please help!

Much needed for deal tags to be specific to a deal stage, not just a pipeline.

MBesse has a great workaround. For my workaround, I am using an AND condition for any "date entered" or "date exited" is known/unknown for a stage.

 

Regardless, this is a highly important field to be able to filter on. Hoping it's addressed very soon.

You have got to be kidding me!  This is such a, what I call, HubSpotism.  If tags we're to be used, Deal Stage is the most obvious property to reference as a filter.  UNREALLLLL.  GET WORKING ON THIS PLEASE

The most important filter criteria of the specific deal stage are missing. Please, change it, otherwise, the whole feature tag deals is only 10% of possible use.

I was just looking at this for a client. My workaround is to use the date entered/left properties to try and slim it down to the pipeline stage you required. This will work if your pipeline stages typically aren't skipped.

 

But this is such an essetial feature!

I agree, this would be very useful!

For everyone who is currently trying to accomplish this: If you have predictable pipelines, you can use a combination of the "date entered", "date exited", ... properties to accomplish the same behaviour.

Eg. if a deal is in stage 2/5, it should have a "date exited" stage 1, a "date entered" stage 2, but not a "date entered" stage 3.
This should allow you to create the behaviour you want, but takes a lot more work than just seleting a deal stage.

A different workaround for this: 

- Create a Deal Tag from scratch, set a name, etc

- Go to filters

- Look for the "Date entered" properties related to the stage dates you want to filter. For example: If you want to target deals in the "Pitch Stage", then set "Date Entered Pitch Stage" to known. Then, set the property to "unknown" for the next stage. For example: after the "Pitch Stage", comes "Evaluation Stage". So set "Date Entered Evaluation Stage" to unknown. That way the tag will be applied to the deals that are in Pitch Stage and no further.

 

It requires a little work, but you should be able to get the same results as by filtering by Deal Stage.

Filtering on deal stages seems like the most basic function for deal tags - so why is it still not available? I'm just now beginning to use deal tags and have a few use cases to use them for specific deal stages, but now I'm fumbling around with list filters and hours of testing, which is completely insane.

Please include this!

agreed, I can't use the feature in some instances because the tag doesn't apply to all stages
