I would like to create a custom field named "Category" to group issues into categories. However categories are evolving over time so I do not want to use a custom field of type enumeration which will have more and more options. Sometimes you might also want to add more than one category.
Instead it would be nice to have a custom field type that works more like tags. That is I simply type in a tag value and a suggestion feature will show me tags I have already used. That custom field should also allow multiple tag values.
Currently the closest workaround is to use a custom field of type text and use contains queries for search. The only downside of text is that you do not see which values/tags have already been used. So when you want to make a query or assign a value/tag to an issue, you need to know all the existing tags because no suggestions can be done by OneDev.

This will not be implemented as this makes tag values difficult to manage (the condition to show it, the color, etc).
