Can’t create sub-tags in Immich Tags list — is nested tagging supported?
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m trying to create sub-tags (nested tags) in the Tags list but can’t find a way to do it.
What I’m seeing
In the left sidebar (Tags), I have a parent tag like “Branch name” and many tags under it (e.g., Ahmedabad Gurukul, Chicago Gurukul (IL), Jinja Gurukul Africa, etc.).
When I click the parent and try Create tag, it always creates a top-level tag, not a child under the selected one.
Drag-and-drop doesn’t seem to nest, and I can’t find a context menu to “Add sub-tag”.
Screenshot attached for reference.
Questions
Does Immich currently support nested / hierarchical tags?
If yes, what’s the correct way to create a child tag under a selected parent?
Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi everyone 👋
I’m getting the following error message in Immich when trying to open or view an album:
Error – Something went wrong
Not found or no album.read access (400)
Stacktrace:
Error: Error 400
at Object.At (as ok)
…
Screenshot attached for reference.
What I already tried:
Refreshed page and cleared browser cache.
Logged out and logged in again.
Restarted the Immich server and Postgres container.
Checked permissions — I’m the owner/admin user.
Questions:
What exactly triggers this “no album.read access (400)” error?
Could it be caused by album permissions, missing assets, or DB sync issues?
How can I fix or reset access for affected albums?
Thanks in advance! 🙏
