Same here - I think it is due to extended attributes not correctly assigned. 

I thought this is happening because my network file server (Synology NAS) might
not support xattr data. But I experimented quite a lot and it turns out the
server does. I checked the xattr state of files I copied to the server and it
turns out they are there. 

Copying the files  in dolphin to the network share and then moving the file
back results in a loss of all file tags which are, as I understand saved as
extended file attributes. 

Here's parts of my post on reddit:

Hi!

As I understand the KDE file tags that can be applied by dolphin get written
into the extended attributes of the tagged files. So that's fine and works most
of the times...

But it seems that dolphin loses the ability to read or assign tags in any
mounted network folder - though the network server uses btrfs as well and the
shares (I tried nfs and cifs/samba mounting) should support unix attributes.

So do I need additional mount options to make KDE tags "stick" in network
shares?

I do not seem to have the same problem with local mounts....

Anyone? Thanks!

Cheers, p.

p.s.: Btw... - the context menu in dolphin still shows the "Add tag" entry -
but adding tags in the mounted folders doesn't do anything...
