Problem about allowing items to be tagged in a Legend is that placed items are just graphical representations of the component. It's why you only get to select certain views and why some families come in rotated. And it goes from the default parameters from the family browser.

Suggestion......use Legends just for text. Create a phase called Legends (usually a future phase) and place your items in an actual view. For example I have a wall with all my doors in them. I elevate them with an elevation or section view. You can tag the component and anything else you want to manipulate from there. For example you could create a 3' wide door and a 4' wide door (if you do that kind of thing) and you wouldn't have to have two separate families like you would need in a Legend.

I do my Ceiling Legends and Wall Types in this same way.
