Original Slack Thread

<@U06TM7M40RK> <@U07FV3UHE4D> help me to identify if below issue is an bug or any feature in datahub,
If you go to an entity page, delete a tag applied on a column, it would crash and load back to homepage. This should ideally delete the tag. The dataset page shall crash and the user will be returned on the homepage.

It could be possible that the issue you’re experiencing is a bug, especially if the dataset page crashes and redirects you to the homepage when attempting to delete a tag from a column. This behavior does not align with the expected functionality, where deleting a tag should simply remove it without causing a crash.

Though I’m not entirely certain, it might be that this issue is related to a known problem with tags in DataHub. For instance, there have been reports of tags not rendering correctly or causing unexpected behavior in the UI, as seen in <https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/issues/6831|this GitHub issue>.

To further investigate, you might want to check the following:

  1. Version: Ensure you are using a stable version of DataHub. Some versions might have known issues that have been resolved in later releases.

  2. Logs: Check the browser console and server logs for any error messages that could provide more context on why the crash is occurring.

  3. Reproduction: Try to reproduce the issue in a different environment or with a different dataset to see if it’s consistent.

  4. Community Feedback: Engage with the DataHub community on https://datahubspace.slack.com|Slack or https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/issues|GitHub to see if others have encountered similar issues and if there are any known workarounds or fixes.

Would you like more detailed steps on how to troubleshoot this issue or further assistance on a specific part of the process?
