2026-04-15 - Risk Tags Now Recognised Regardless of Case
=================================================================================

AgileData.io - Tags That Work: Risk Tags Now Case-Insensitive

Risk tags you add manually in the catalog are now recognised by AgileData's automated patterns regardless of whether you type them in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. Previously, a tag like ``--Risk`` or ``--RISK`` would not trigger the expected governance behaviour.

AgileData uses tag patterns to identify and act on risk-annotated data assets. These patterns were case-sensitive, meaning manually typed tags that didn't exactly match the expected lowercase format (``--risk``) were silently ignored. This update normalises all manually entered risk tags to lowercase before they are evaluated, so your governance annotations work as intended regardless of how they were typed.

**What was happening:**

* Manually created ``--risk`` tags with uppercase letters (e.g. ``--Risk``, ``--RISK``) were not matched by governance patterns
* Tags appeared to be applied but had no effect on automated risk detection
* The issue only affected manually entered tags — tags applied via automated rules were unaffected

**What this means for you:**

* Risk tags you type manually are always recognised and enforced
* No need to worry about case when adding risk annotations to catalog tiles
* More reliable governance coverage across your entire catalog
