As outlined in What are tags?, Tags can contain additional data (attributes), which can be uniquely set for each entity-tag (i.e. Tag applied to a person or a team). This is useful if you seek to have common Tag names, but “data” (i.e. attributes) that is unique to the person/team to which a tag is applied. This pages defines how to load unique entity-tag attributes. |
