Caption/tag hierarchy issue

[Richard B. Emerson]

A tickler regarding an earlier, unanswered post:

Picking a real situation from my collection of tags: I created /US/Florida/St. Augstine and /US/Florida/Miami (obviously Miami & St. Augustine are under FL). But some of my photos are from Who-knows-where, FL. What I want to do is simply use /US/Florida. I'll fill in where in FL as soon as I figure where the photo(s) were taken. But! What happens when I choose FL is both St. Augustine and Miami are selected. De-select St. Augustine and/or Miami and the entire hierarchy is de-selected. How do I select only /US/Florida?

Your previous post about *tags* got answered, and you acknowledged the answer.
Your followup about *captions* went unanswered, probably /because it doesn't
make sense/:
Captions are /free text/, no option to click on any kind of hierarchy, let
alone getting lower branches included; that behaviour is only possible for
*tags*

Btw, in that right-click (context) menu, use the last option "toggle auto" and
make sure you select 'none': only clicked tag will be toggled.
Or you could pick 'parents', in which case all tags leading to the selected
tag will be toggled as well, i.e. in your /US/Florida/Miami exemple:
if you click Florida:
toggle auto:none => only the "Florida" tag will be toggled
toggle auto:children => "Florida", "Miami" and "St. Augustine" will be toggled
toggle auto:parents => "US" and "Florida" will be toggled
toggle auto:both => "US", "Florida", "Miami" and "St. Augustine" will be
toggled.

Ah hah!! It's the Toggle part that I missed. Toggle>Parents does the job very nicely. My guess is that, at some point, I typed a "T" at the wrong time and accidentally broke the toggle setting I want. 

Great thanks for your help and patience. :)
