Note: I can only seem to assign a single tag per Taxonomic Group category even though this should be listed as both Herbaceous plants AND Woody Plants. Should be a general feature to allow a dataset to be associated with multiple categories.

Also, the dropdown menu for Taxonomic Group only goes down to "Plankton", and categories alphabetically past that (e.g. "Woody plants") are not displayed in either Firefox or Chrome.

Thanks for the report! This was an error in configuration. You should now be able to see all the available tags in each category and add multiple tags per category.
