Specific file for pooling tags in org folder

Question

I'm trying to organize tags among many org files.

I have a few tags defined in init.el through org-tag-alist and other tags placed at top of files.

I would like to set a tags.org file for tags in folder project (in order to tag any entry regardless which .org file from project is concerned).

Setting #+TAGS: at top of file make org-mode searching init.el tags but doesn't load tags from tags.org.

Any idea?

This sounds like a case for a directory-local variable for org-current-tag-alist. Something like this in a .dir-locals.el file might be what you need.

((org-mode
  (org-current-tag-alist
   ("tag1")
   ("tag2"))))

Note though, if you also want file local ones, you will have to overwrite them with

# Local Variables:
# org-current-tag-alist: (("aa") ("bbbb") ("cccc"))
# End:
