# How to Request for Tags

Apart from adding the tags directly to the data assets, users can also request to update tags. This is typically done when the user wants another opinion on the tag being added, or if the user does not have access to add tags directly. Requesting for a tag will create a Task in OpenMetadata.

* Click on the **?** icon next to tags

* A Task will be created with some pre-populated details. Fill in the other important information:

Once a task has been created, it is displayed in the **Activity Feeds & Tasks** tab for that Data Asset. The assignees, can either `Accept the Suggestion` or `Edit and Accept the Suggestion`. Assignees can also add a **Comment**. They can also add other users as **Assignees**.

## Conversations around Tags

Apart from requesting for tags, users can also create a **Conversation** around the tags assigned to a data asset.

* Click on the **Conversation** icon next to the tag.
