Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

The problem I'm facing is having multiple import lists, each trying to tag films correctly, but only one list gets to tag a film, and only on import. My proposed method will fix that.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like an option to be able to automatically tag movies based on if they're on an import list.

The basic idea would be to (in the automatic tagging setup) specify an import list (enabled, or disabled, it doesn't matter) and if it detects that the movie is on that list, then it can apply the tag automatically.

This would allow people to find or setup various lists (whether they importing the films or not) and apply tagging based on those lists, even to films that are already in the system.

Example: I have several import lists. One of them is for importing Disney movies, another is for importing Robin Williams movies. With the automated tagging setup, Both Aladdin and Aladdin Prince of Thieves would be tagged with "disney" and "robinwilliams", as setup in my auto-tagging, even if both were already in my collection. Even if one of my import lists grabs it, the auto-tagging will ensure all of my tags are properly applied.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now, I'm manually tagging films. This is untenable as my collection grows.

Anything else?

Thank you for your attention.
