Redmine

Cross-project tagging system for Redmine issues. Global tag pool with contextual visibility: tags from projects you can't access never leak. Public tags shared across projects, private tags visible only to you. Native Redmine filter integration: filter issues by tag in the standard issue list. Two-level color system with project-level overrides.

Requires one database migration (creates the tag tables). No external dependencies.

Site license: one purchase covers all your Redmine instances. $49 one-time, perpetual. Currently included free with every Board+ purchase (time-limited offer).
