bot in group and supergroup cant manage tags #838

Hi,

I tried to implement an idea for a bot that manages tags for users in a group/supergroup, due to the latest updates from March for Telegram.

The bot in the supergroup has every permission as an administrator. can_manage_tags is set to true for the bot.

Everything I tried keeps getting me this error: CHAT_CREATOR_REQUIRED. I used set_chat_member_tag in the code to do so.

Weirdly, from another account (admin, not owner), I can change tags for other participants,. But why might it not be possible to do this through a bot with the same rights?

Code I tried:
bot_Curent.py

What can I do to make that bot able to manage/change tags for users by itself?
