Adding criteria to tag.

[pavedian]

I've noticed when attempting to open an existing tag and adding another IP_Range it just overwrite the existing one.

Is there a clear way to add the same crtieria again instead of overwriting? I may be doing something wrong but I noticed when I attempt to open an existing tag the data is just overwritten.

Hi @pavedian,

Can you copy and paste the code you're using to add an ip to an existing tag? That will help us answer the question easier/quicker.

Thanks!

I've attached the script. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

You're overwriting the criteria of the tag and then adding the range criterion to it (which you also did earlier in the script):

old_tag.search_criteria = criteria #overwrites original criteria
old_tag.search_criteria.criteria << range  #adds criterion to criteria (again)

If you only did the second part it should work as expected.

[pavedian]

yes! you are correct and it worked. thanks for that!

I agree with @gschneider-r7 @pavedian,

old_tag.search_criteria = criteria
old_tag.search_criteria.criteria << range

If you fix that line, and do something to the effect of:

old_tag.search_criteria = criteria if old_tag.search_criteria.nil?

That should do what you're looking to do. Because what looks to be happening is you're setting old_tag.search_criteria to a brand new Tag::Criteria.new every time.

Give that a shot, and let us know how it goes.

Awesome, glad to hear it worked @pavedian -- going to go ahead and close the issue now.
Let us know if you ever have any other questions, or run into issues in the future.

Thanks again.
