... and I don't know how many other instances there might be of creatures with an ability like the Oni's "Change Shape" that are similarly missing from that tag. Silver Dragons have the same problem.
Is there another way to find monsters who fit this definition of shapechangers?
They also aren't shape changers - but can change shape through the use of a magical ability. Where as monsters like a Vampire of Doppleganger can change shape due to a natural ability and therefore are classified as the type.
Point taken that Shapechanger has a specific meaning from the MM. That said, I'd still like to be able to find monsters who can change their shape from the Monsters tab. Right now, I can search for "Change Shape" in the global search and filter down to monsters, but a) that only catches the exact case of that ability and I don't know if there are others, and b) I can't benefit from any of the other filters on the searches in the Monsters tab when I'm using the global search.
So it looks like my problem isn't about an incorrect tag for Oni or Silver Dragons, its about not being able to search by ability on the Monsters tab. Should I repost this as a feature request?

I tagged this thread as "Request" for the staff to see. Indeed, this request has come up several times.
