I've discovered another issue with the Image tags 'column'. When trying to migrate content using a migration tool I'm getting an error indicating an issue with the column in the destination site. The key problem I have is that I can't find a column labelled Image Tags, pr Tags in site columns of the site or the central content type site which underpins SharePoint admin content services. I've found a work around, but the issue means I'm not migrating sites as efficiently as I could be.

My work around is simply to download any images and upload into destination library. Version history and other metadata for images not that important for my organisation. The point of the migration tool is to allow you to retain version history and is intended to be more efficient. Within the tool itself, you can usually set rules about what to terms to use in columns to get around missing terms at the destination, but because the 'Tags' or Image tags column doesn't show up anywhere, this approach can't be used.
This issue is also preventing me from copying an entire site and its structure, so I'm forced to just copy the content, which is a lot slower.- ABabelSep 23, 2022Copper Contributor
JWB-20250312 Yes, that's exactly what I ended up doing, too. I synchronized the libraries containing the images with Auto-Tags to OneDrive. Then I synchronized the destination libraries, the copied the files over.
I was surprised that the AI (once I learned it was a case of AI-generated tags) didn't create a supporting Term Set.
I felt your pain, but good job persevering.
