Editing Qlik App Tags

[tynernies]

I have a use case in which I would like to update the tags within the app details page of a qlik app. I have a number of apps that get triggered externally via Airflow whether it be daily, weekly, etc. and would like to update the Qlik app tags as one of the tasks apart of my DAG. These can be a number of things, dependencies, dag name, load status, app owner, refresh frequency, next refresh time, etc. but I would like to be able to edit these details. Is this possible through the API? I have found that you can read and update certain attributes via the 

PUT /api/v1/items/{itemId}

endpoint, but every time I try to update the tags, it doesn't work. Wondering if anyone has had a use case like this before and if so, if there's a way to update the tags via the API.

Hi @tynernies 

Tags are collections of type public - see https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/collections/#get-v1-collections

You have to add items to a collection, rather than editing an item's collections. So use the collections API to add items to a tag.

Hope that helps!
