Import Tags with Unique Attributes

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

Note: this is a special case of Tags With Attributes use. For more about importing Tags with Attributes, see: Bulk import Tags with attributes (common attributes)

Note: Entity tags need to be configured via devtools, workspace feature flags “enableEntityTagAttributes”

Tags with Unique Attributes to an Entity an then be added via tag type settings (manage tags):
