Thanks.

The index that is built when you check Auto-complete is an index that allows for ALL values, but only displays UNIQUE values in the drop-down list.
Item values for your TAG attribute:
A
B
C
A, B
A, B, C
When you create a new Item the values available for TAG are presented in the drop-down list, you can choose from these existing values or give the new Item a new value (D, E). This new value is added on-the-fly and will be present in the drop-down list for the next new Item you create.
If you want to change the TAG value for an exisitng Item, you can choose from the drop-down list of exisitng values, or create a new value (F).
From your original post it sounds like you want to track the evolving status of an Item, perhaps I misunderstood.
