Hi!
Is it possible to lookup inherited tags and add them explicitly to
the current heading?
Example:
* Project :ProjectX:
** Sub-Project :@Joe:
*** Task 1
*** Task 2
When I go to "Task 1" (or 2), I want to invoke a command which
"copies" the tags ProjectX and @Joe to the heading of the task.
Background: Org-mode has perfect tag inheritance but unfortunately
the export methods I am using do export the tags only to the
headings they are assigned to and not to their sub-headings via
inheritance. So copying the inherited tags would be a viable
workaround to me.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am curious how you are exporting. Are you exporting using subtree scope?
I am asking because I am using the exact same style of tagging for my
posts, and I export using subtree scopes using ox-hugo,.. and I faced the
exact same challenge.
The trick is to:
1. Set org-use-tag-inheritance to t (temporarily in let so that it doesn't
populate the user-set global value).
2. Use `org-get-tags-at' with point on "Task 1" heading in your example.
`org-get-tags' returns a list of tags *only* at the current heading.
`org-get-tags-at' returns inherited tags too.
Hope this helps.

I guess this then should happen optionally during export. Doing this in
the buffer itself makes much less sense.

Always, yes.

My current export methods are: HTML, pandoc>docx, latex>PDF

Check.

You mean for developing a custom-made function that provides the
feature I was asking for?
Yes, this helps a lot to me.
First, I wanted to get a confirmation that this feature is not
already part of Org-mode because (as usual) this seemed obvious to
me when using export functionality ;-)

I totally agree.
However, from my (non-insider) perspective, this would require all
export methods to adapt. Or was this situation improved as we
switched the general export framework some time ago?

By "feature", you mean copying all the inherited tags to the heading at
point?
My suggestion implied that you can skip that copying step altogether and
directly use org-get-tags-at to gets all the inherited tags for the current
heading. That way, you wouldn't need to add redundant information to your
Org file.

Great! :)

It's not clear what you mean by "feature is not already part of Org-mode".
Org mode provides `org-get-tags-at', which any Org exporter can use. How
that function is used is, I think, very subjective. The way I use it in
ox-hugo is probably not used in other exporters.

Yes.
With your help, I wrote:
(defun my-set-tags-including-inherited ()
(interactive)
(let (
(alltags (org-get-tags-at))
)
(org-set-tags-to alltags)
)
)
Which provides me "the feature" I was looking for. It can be
simplified, I know. However, I tried to add a list of tags I *don't*
want to be added to the heading but failed so far.
alltags content example:
(#("test1" 0 5 (inherited t)) #("foobar" 0 6 (inherited t))
#("test2" 0 5 (inherited t)) #("baz" 0 3 (inherited t)))
Do you have an idea, how I can delete all items contained in my
black-list?
My example black list would be: (ignored-tags '(test1 2del crypt))
My latest approach on a single-item level was:
(remove* "test1" alltags :test 'equal :key 'car)

Sorry for being unclear.
I thought, there might be something like "org-add-inherited-tags" or
similar I was not aware of.
