If you modify the real tag, the alias would point to the modified tag as well, if you modify the alias, then it will be no longer an alias but a real tag. You can check whatever a tag is an alias by using the function cmsIsLinkedTag(). The syntax is cmsIsLinkedTag(<alias>) à real tag.

I have now added a check for linked tags first, and if the tag is a linked one, it now looks up the linked tag, and then updates the linked tag.
And that seems to work correctly.

So, for me this works fine now.
(BTW, I was still on 2.0 and that is why I did not find a call to check linked tags before)
