Apply Tags to Application

AJDoc31 — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 14:00:11 GMT

Is anyone familiar with how to apply tags to applications in a space using automation? For example, I have multiple applications with Cust_ID. I want to pull the value out of the app and apply it as a tag to the application.
App 1 (tags: for_sync,ID=3). I have the way to pull the distinct value out of the app but i am having trouble applying the tag to the app. Any help would be appreciated!

You can try use "Update Dataset" which contains "Tags"

Hope it's help

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure how this could work as I've never used the 'Update Dataset' block. It seems to be asking for a dataset name, would that be the same as the app name/id? Reading through the Data-sets api specifications I do not think this will work as intended.

You may want to look at the Qlik Platform Ops blocks related to tags: There is List Tags, Delete Tag By Name, ..., etc., and, for your use case: Add Tag To Item By Name. Every app has an item ID which you can pass into this block.

Hi @AJDoc31

@tolange is right, the way to do this is with the "Add Tag To Item By Name" from the QPO connector.
I tested this and it added a tag to my app, just browse to the app details screen

This is the URL you will see in the browser, but with a different item id

https://pj8z8szk4ownvrg.ap.qlikcloud.com/item/6810d8e71360d77d087b648a/details?resourceTypes=app

Copy the item id to the item id field in the block, or i guess you can also use the list items block.

Best Regards
