I am using the tagfield as a field in a nested DOM (I have a page with imageResources that have imageDetails).
In the backend everything is good. Tagfield works, everything save, no errors anywhere. DataModel appears to be good.

In the templates, I return a imageResource from a getter that looks it up by ID, I can them control thru imageDetails and I can display my 3 elements (Role, URL, Name)
Role is a enum, and URL and Name both use tagfield.
If I only wish to display the Role, everything is great.
When I try to out either $URL or $Name, I get something like:

The text in the anchor in the List item is the text I expect, the rest of the HTML/javascript not.
In the case above there are 2 list items, this is because when entering the Name it gave me 2 tags in the tag field, where I would Ideally see "FirstName LastName".
URL is returning the same, but with a single List item.

Looking at the table in the database I see that the stored data is the simple Varchar strings. eg: 'FirstName'

So is there a way to get the clean string data eg: 'FirstName LastName' returned in my control?
