I’m relatively new to Anki, so I may be missing something.
Until recently, I could use Custom Study to cram review cards (including mature cards) from a selected deck, even if they had no tags.
After a recent update, the Custom Study interface changed, and the option now appears to require tags. Since my review cards are untagged, I can no longer cram them as before.
The cards are still available in the Browser, and I can study them using a manually created filtered deck with deck:current. However, this is inconvenient because I regularly switch between multiple decks.
This issue occurs on both my iPhone and iPad, running AnkiMobile 26.10. AnkiDroid on Android still works as before.
A similar issue was previously reported and fixed in AnkiDroid, although I’m not sure whether the cause is the same:
Is this an intentional change or a bug? Is there a way to restore the previous behavior?
Previously, when I selected the second option from the bottom (“Cram seen cards with certain tags” in the current version), I was able to randomly cram all the previously studied cards in the current deck, even if none of them had any tags.
If I remember correctly, this option did not previously include the words “with certain tags.”
However, in the current version, no tags are available to select, and tapping “Done” results in the error message shown in the second screenshot.
Has this behavior changed intentionally, or could this be a bug?
