Automatically add highway=track if tag tracktype=gradeX is added

Description (last modified by flaimo)

There are a lot of complementary tags, that don't make sense without their corresponding main tag. For example if a add an tracktype=gradeX, it only makes sense if there also is a highway=track. similar keys are recycling_type, shelter_type, a.s.o.

It would be a nice time saving feature if, for example, I add a tracktype=gradeX to a way, that the highway=track gets added automatically (as long as there isn't already a highway entry tagged). same goes for the other complementary tags.

This, of course can only be done where there is a 1:1 relation between main tag and complementary tag. The service tag, for example, could have different main tags.

I'm against adding any tags automagically.

These combinations could by checked by the validator, but any automagical tag adding could potentially damage things.

+1

for combinations you can use presets.

Validator is already checking for bridges/tunnels without layer and it should be not that hard to add checks for other tags.

as long as you cannot assign custom keyboard shortcuts to presets this is not a durable option.

It could be an option in the configurations to allow auto-adding of various tags, but it should be user option to select them, maybe even make it fully customable so each user can make have his own auto-added tags.
