Tag Created with API doesn't show up in tasks

[Phil_Seeman]

No, there’s no synchronization lag in the Asana API.

I’m not familiar with the Python SDK so I’m not sure the reason for using find_by_workspace but you may be seeing another oddity of tags: an empty tag - one not associated with a task - will not be surfaced in the API:

We hide empty tags in the API as though they’re trashed.

Newly created tag doesn't stick around

So, I’m trying to programmatically create tasks and tag them. The tags come from an external resource so I need to create them programmatically as well. When I call the tags.create_in_workspace function, I get a response that looks like it was successful, with an ID and everything. When I try to use that ID to retrieve a tag or to tag a task, things don’t work. The tag doesn’t show up using any of the find operations, doesn’t show up in the UI, and I seem unable to tag a task with it. pls halp

You’ll need to:

1. Create the tag in the API and that should return its gid.
2. Use that returned gid to attach the tag to a task.

At that point the new tag should be fully visible in both the UI and the API.
