I want to update tag field in capability with the patch request 

 

I gave the request body as:

[
{
"path": "/tags",
"op": "add",
"value": "abc"

},
{
"path": "/tags",
"op": "add",
"value": "pqr"

},

]

 

however this is not adding the values abc and pqr,

it is replacing the values with the last operation that is pqr

the value of tags = "pqr"

@Shuchi Shah The Tag field is just a String (not an Array) so you have to first get the current value and then append the additional tag strings.

The syntax for adding to an array is shown in image 1 and results in image 2.  Note the "/-" at the end of the "path". Image 3 seems to be indicating that it is broken for "Tags".  I have a script that I have run in the past that uses that syntax to add to Tags, so I am fairly certain it worked in the past.

I'll check if this is a known bug and report back.
