How to filter assets by User Asset Tags in Content Browser (UE 5.7)?

Hi,

In UE 5.7, the new Manage Tags window allows assigning User Asset Tags to assets (e.g. WIP, REVIEW, APPROVED) via right-click → Asset Actions → Manage Tags. This works fine for assigning.

However, I cannot find any way to filter or search by these tags in the Content Browser:

  • Typing WIP, Tag=WIP, TagsAndValues.WIP, UserTags=WIP in the search bar — no results

  • The Filters dropdown does not show User Asset Tags as filter options

  • Asset tooltip does not show User Tags as a metadata key I could use with advanced search syntax

Questions:

  1. Is filtering by User Asset Tags in the Content Browser currently supported in 5.7?

  2. If yes - what is the correct search syntax or UI path?

  3. If no - are User Tags searchable via Asset Registry at runtime/editor scripting only, or is Content Browser filtering planned?

Context: We’re trying to use User Asset Tags as a pipeline status system (WIP → REVIEW → APPROVED → FINAL) for a team of artists, so the ability to filter “show all assets in REVIEW status” directly in the Content Browser is essential for the workflow to be useful without additional tooling.

Thanks

Hi! In UE 5.7, you should be able to find them by using the syntax UAT.WIP="" in the Content Browser search bar
