Default tag settings let you pre-select tags to be automatically applied whenever you create a new Ingredient or Recipe.
Default Tags
If a user always works on a specific product line or category (e.g., "Frozen Meals" or "Bakery"), they can set that tag as a default so it's automatically applied to every new Ingredient or Recipe they create — saving them from manually adding it each time.
These help enforce consistent tagging practices without requiring manual effort on every new item.
