Is it possible to add or configure custom tags for activities?

I’m not sure what you mean by tags… Maybe what you actually want are log categories?

Categories

Logs can be assigned to one or more categories to help with sorting and
filtering.

Categories differ from the “Log Type” in a few ways:

  • A Log can be in multiple categories.
  • Categories of a Log can change.
  • The same set of Categories is available across all Log types.
  • Categories are optional, type is required.

Categories are therefore a more flexible and dynamic method of organizing
sets of Logs, regardless of type.

Categories differ from “Flags” in that categories only apply to Logs. Flags can
be applied to Assets, Plans, and Logs. Flags are intended to bring attention to
a Log, and are often highlighted in the UI. Flags may also be added and removed
from a Log (eg: adding/removing the “Needs review” flag), whereas categories
will tend to be fixed.

Flags are also more strictly defined and controlled than categories. Categories
are Terms in the “Log categories” vocabulary, so they can be added, edited,
deleted, and rearranged through the UI. Flags must be defined in code by a
module.

Here is the documentation for module developers who want to define new flags: Fields | farmOS

Notably, the configuration of a new flag can specify whether it is available for logs, assets, and/or plans, and can also be limited to specific sub-types (eg: a flag that is only applicable to activity logs).

I should say “flags”, I would like to have a new custom “flag”. But have customizable “tags” or “labels” for logs/assets would be helpful too.
