[New Quizzes] Group tags/Categorized tags

Problem statement:

I am exploring ways to better organize Item Banks in New Quizzes and was wondering if there is a built-in method to categorize banks based on similar tags or group them under a broader category. After communicating with support back and forth, there aren't such feature implemented yet in Canvas LMS. For example, if I have a Math-related Item Bank, I might use tags such as Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. Ideally, I would like to be able to search for “Math” and see a list of all related tags and see the related banks under this category.

Proposed solution:

Currently, it seems that tags in New Quizzes function independently, without any hierarchical structure or grouping. Here are my suggestions for improving the tags feature. 1. Group tags under a common category (e.g., Math → Algebra, Geometry, etc.). 2. Search for a broader term (e.g., “Math”) and retrieve all related tags. 3. Filter Item Banks by tag groups, rather than just individual tags.
