The tags dropdown can be used for a situations where you want to allow users to use a specific relation to the given tag.

It can be used e.g. to specify tag which will be used to create posts listing:

```json

{
     "name": "listingTag",
     "label": "Post listing",
     "group": "Layout",
     "note": "Creates a list of posts with the selected tag",
     "value": "",
     "type": "tags-dropdown",
     "multiple": false
}
```

The tags dropdown returns the ID of the selected tag as a value so it should be connected with use of the [getPostsByTag](#INTERNAL_LINK#/post/103) or [getPostByTag](#INTERNAL_LINK#/post/104) helpers. If the **multiple** option is set to **true**, then string with IDs separated by comma is returned.
