Sure. Just use the EnumMaskField, with a custom enum of your choice.

Make sure the enum uses correct values for the bitmask:

Example:

 private enum MyEnum
 {
     MyValue1 = 2,
     MyValue2 = 4,
     MyValue3 = 8,
     MyValue4 = 16,
     MyValue5 = 32,
 }

Thank you GameVortex, but how can I create the Enum dynamically if I don't know the Tags in advance? PS: I've updated my question to specify this.

Then you can use the $$anonymous$$askField ins$$anonymous$$d and edit the string array to contain the Tags you want.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for!

PS: although undocumented, UnityEditorInternal.InternalEditorUtility.tags handy returns a string array with all Tags
