When I use New Set - wizard to select probes, the exclusion by tag does not work with user tags. Even though the user tag was recognized (I chose it from the drop down menu), the particular probe was still selected.
For example, I excluded user tag SDFJLKFWEO from measurement 2312281, but probe 10240 was still selected.
I tried from the API and the results are strange. Some existing user tags are not recognized: {'definitions': [{'target': '192.134.5.5', 'af': 4, 'packets': 3, 'type': 'ping', 'is_oneoff': True, 'description': 'Ping 192.134.5.5'}], 'probes': [{'requested': 3, 'type': 'area', 'value': 'WW', 'tags': {'exclude': ['sdfjlkfweo']}}]} => RIPEAtlas.RequestSubmissionError: Status 400, reason "{"error":{"message":"tags_exclude: Select a valid choice. sdfjlkfweo is not one of the available choices.","code":104}}" But other tags are accepted: {'definitions': [{'target': '192.134.5.5', 'af': 4, 'packets': 3, 'type': 'ping', 'is_oneoff': True, 'description': 'Ping 192.134.5.5'}], 'probes': [{'requested': 3, 'type': 'area', 'value': 'WW', 'tags': {'exclude': ['home']}}]} => Measurement #2312797
