Add custom tags support to Gutenberg editor

    Hello,
    I have been trying to add tags support to custom post type.
    I have enabled Gutenberg support for custom post and tried to enable post_tag in $args configuration:

    
$args = array(
  //...
  'show_in_rest' => true,
  'taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
  //...
);
register_post_type( 'myslug', $args );

    I have tried registering custom myslug_tag:

    
$args = array(
  //...
  'show_in_rest' => true,
  'taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'myslug_tag' ),
  //...
);
register_post_type( 'myslug', $args );

register_taxonomy(
  'myslug_tag',
  'myslug',
  array(
    'label' => __( 'Tags', 'text_domain_myslug' ),
    'singular_name' => __( 'Tag', 'text_domain_myslug' ),
    'hierarchical'  => false,
    'rewrite'       => true,
    'query_var'     => true
  )
);

    But that does not work either.
    The second approach gives me the “Tags” link in custom post type menu in admin sidebar, but when I try to edit the post, tags are not there.

    The tags work when I use the classic editor, I can select or add new tags, but when I switch back to Gutenberg, tags disappear.

    Am I doing something wrong here or did custom tags changed so much with Gutenberg editor?

    Thank you
    Filip

    [update]
    All code runs in the init hook:

    
add_action('wp_init', array( $this, 'register_types' ) );

    Where register_types is public function that:

    • 1. Calls register_post_type()
    • 2. Calls register_taxonomy()

    Fixed it by using working solution from plugin:

    $slug = 'myslug';
$taxonomy_name = $slug . '-tag';
//
$labels = Array(
  'name' => 'Tags',
  'singular_name' => 'Tag',
  'search_items' => 'Search Tags',
  'all_items' => 'All Tags',
  'edit_item' => 'Edit Tag',
  'update_item' => 'Update Tag',
  'add_new_item' => 'Add New Tag',
  'new_item_name' => 'New Tag'
);
$args = Array(
  'label' => sprintf( '%s: Tags', $slug ),
  'labels' => $labels,
  'show_admin_column' => True,
  'hierarchical' => False,
  'show_ui' => True,
  'query_var' => True,
  'rewrite' => Array(
    'with_front' => False,
    'slug' => ltrim(sprintf('%s/tag', $slug), '/')
  ),
  'show_in_rest' => True,
);
register_Taxonomy($taxonomy_name, $slug, $args);
