Comments.Text: This is indeed a major PITA. Slightly different point: I'd love to be able to use the bulk update screen to be able to quickly edit the tags for a group of records. The fact that the Tags field doesn't display, and therefore doesn't let me set tags for a given record, is to say the least disappointing. Plus 1 for either getting it to work properly, or disallow it. The current state of play is dangerous.

  I can add Tags field to a Profile
  
  I can then use that Profile for bulk updates

  Upon save ALL tags are removed from all those Contacts.
  
  Sadness ensues and it rains a lot and your favourite team is kicked out of the FIFA World Cup.
  
  If the Tags field is not safe to be used on Profiles used via Batch Updates then
  
  * should we prevent Profiles that have the Tag field from being available via Batch Update or
  * should the field show the actual Tags, so it just 'saves' them
  * something else?
