Hello, I used the create tag API call to create a tag successfully within my workspace. I’ve queried the tag created with a GET and the API retrieves it. However, I do not see the newly created tag in ASANA gui in order to associate it with a new task. Could anyone guide me as to where the issue m…

yes sir, I used the asana.tags.find_by_workspace to retrieve all tags associated with a workplace. Although Postman tells me my tag is inside that specified workspace, my task creation fails because it can’t find it using asana.tags.find_by_workspace. Could this be because it takes time to synchron…

I’m having a similar issue. What’s the point of create_in_workspace if you can’t later assign the newly created tags to a task, via the API?
