Reproducing the Issue

- Navigate to Admin Center > Tools > Manage Talent Intelligence Hub
- Select the Tags tab
- Select a tag > Select Edit
- Try to update the name, description, code, or translation > Save
- Receive error
Cause
The tag is a pre-defined tag provided by SuccessFactors
Resolution
The pre-defined tags provided by SuccessFactors (Core, Critical, and Trending) cannot be modified via UI, as shown in the replication steps. More information is in Using Talent Intelligence Hub - Creating a Tag.
However, it is possible to import the new tag names via the Integration Center import procedure and no error will be displayed.
Please note that this change is not recommended, because it is not a supported change in TIH.
