Import a list of tags

Create a list of tags from a table (based on values from a column) instead of raising tags one by one.

    A use case would also be to copy tags from one dxp to another: Export the tag list and then apply it to the new dxp.

    If you use a string column to do the job, you cannot change it interactively. A simple "copy/join like" function from a string column to a tag column perhaps? Import your list of tags as string column (the list should have key/value pairs), chose a key for the "join" and then copy the respective values from the string column to the tag column. I've though about writing a python script for this, should be less than 50 lines to do this.

    Ah. Interesting. Can you share an example dataset and a recording or a
    workflow description of what you are doing today?

    The use case is for data enrichment with multiple possible values.

    You need to raise the list of the tags in the New tag Collection one by one, I'd rather base the list of tags on a list of values I already have available somewhere.

    What are you using tags for that requires you to import them in bulk? The only difference between a tag column and a string column is that the tag column has a UI that allows you to manually change the tags.
