Answers.Body: <p>Not an answer - but a follow up, I wanted to include an image. I checked out the demo and was wondering if I missed what you referred to originally. On the tags tab, I see the attached. Where the list is checkable list. Is this not what you are seeing, perhaps I misunderstood.

Answers.Text: Yes, I see this too. These visible tags are not in a tagset. Only tags in a tagset get hidden from the user.

Title: How can I make tags in tagsets visible to users who want to tag contacts
ThreadText: # How can I make tags in tagsets visible to users who want to tag contacts
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-01)
  
  When I have a group of tags in a tagset, I notice that when I'm trying to add tags to a contact I can't see the list of tags (as I would if it was a standard CiviCRM multi-select field).
  
  Instead all I have is the option of keying characters in and seeing possible matches. I guess that approach is OK if all my users know the tags well, but for a new user who doesn't know the tags it's a bit daft, and I'll end up having to produce a cheat sheet with all the tags on it.
  
  Is there a reason why these tagset fields are different from conventional multi-select fields? Is there a simple way to change them so that the tags do appear in a drop-down as well as responding to keyed characters?
  
  I'm working with CiviCRM 4.7.24 and Wordpress 4.8.2, and I see the same behaviour regardless of whether I add tags from the contact summary screen or by editing the contact record.
