how to create custom lighting fixture labels/tags - AUGI

WHAT I NEEDED TO DO:
Okay so heres the deal; my designer asked asked me to edit the lighting fixture tags so that the fixture type appears seperate from the circuit number and panel name.

MY IDEA:
(thinking to self)Well self i cant very well edit the tag label so that it is in the format that he is requesting. What i should attempt to do is edit the fixture tag label to include just the fixture type name and save it in a different location on the hard drive(than the original tag). Then load it into the current project as a different lighting tag.

LE 5 MIN LATER:
So i successfully saved, and imported the new tag for lighting fixtures.

THE PROBLEM WITH MY IDEA:
My tag all under the annotate tab will no longer tag my fixtures. if i tag them individually the tag will work.

THE QUESTION:
Anyone know why it will tag individually but not by means of the tag all function?
