For example; I have two custom post type
And I want these two post type have custom tag which only usable to these two post type.
How can I do that?
I try with Custom Taxonomies but didn't success.

register_taxonomy( 'Tags', array( 'book' ), $args );
}
for other post type you can use same code with change in post type and the taxonomy like
register_post_type( 'writer', $args );
register_taxonomy( 'Tags', array( 'writer' ), $args );
