Well it took a bit of fiddling (no doubt I was lucky when I did
my test for the first post on this subject); it appears that you
can not "retag" multiple transactions if one of them is a split.

Ah yes, 'tis true on my end as well. Well, I did most of them via a 'batch'
change, and manually went thru 100+ other transactions. Thanks!
(reason I'm interested in this, btw, perhaps for other's interest as well is
to see what expenses I can reasonably claim as 'mine' vs. on behalf of
others so I can get a handle on what future, potential retirement expenses
might be like, by assigning tags to non-essential expenses and incomes that
would not be expected in retirement.)
