Hello all !

In the routes.yaml file, is there a way to filter from a part of the tag ?

Here are two examples that will be more clear (i hope) :

1. 

from tags like that `painter-firstname-name`, i want routes `/painter/firstname-name`

I’d like to do something like :

`routes:`  
` /painter/{slug}/:`  
` controller: channel`  
` filter: tag:painter-{slug}`

1. 

from tags like that `sculptor-firstname-name`, i want routes `/sculptor/firstname-name`

I’d like to do something like :

`routes:`  
` /sculptor/{slug}/:`  
` controller: channel`  
` filter: tag:sculptor-{slug}`

In another way, i’m trying to hack the inhability to have parent and children tags or to create custom types/objects. But maybe, i’m trying the wrong way…

Thx by advance for your answers
