We review post https://skyfoundry.com/forum/topic/1548 on the skyfoundry forum and it suggested there might be a way to programmatically add haystack custom tags like {discharge air temp sensor} etc on points in the Niagara Station. We then reviewed the code-base and found the applyBatchTags function in the extended ops. Is there a way this op can be implemented within Skyspark and pyHaystack?
Would appreciate any feedback.
Warm Regards, Keshav

Just for everyone else's information, Keshav and I have caught up offline to address this question. I will post further information here shortly.

Hi Mike and Ruslan,
I responded to Keshav with the following information.
The Standard Ops in the Haystack REST API do not define a REST endpoint that allows tags to be added, whether they are custom tags or not. However, a custom Op does exist in the nhaystack module as an extra piece of functionality specific to nhaystack.
When I took over the nhaystack module there were a number of custom Ops in the code and they were needed by other members of the community and I have just left them there. However, I do not test them as I have not been supplied a specification for how they are supposed to work. This means that I also cannot support them.
So yes, there is a custom Op called “applyBatchTags” but I do not know how it works, I cannot test it, and I don’t know if it is actually working right now.
I assume that the original user of these custom Ops are still using them and using them successfully as I have had no feedback otherwise. And on the basis that bad news travels faster than good news, and I've had no bad news, I assume they are working.
I hope this clarifies the situation. If you were willing to help out an do some testing and documentation I would be more than happy to take contributions for the benefit of the community.

Hello Everyone, just following this old post and looking for some information or documents to use the extended op "applyBatchTags" do you know where can I get more info about it? I looked in the repo for nHaystack on github but I coundn't find any information. thanks in advance.
