Looking to Set a Tag on existing Office Files across 10 Root folders with 1000s of files and subfolders. 

 

As an example, I want to set a Tag using the current filename.

Is that possible? If so, how?

 

A second part, is it possible to have a template so all new files gets that tag?

   you can set tags per file using the "Update File Info" API

  You could write a script that either loops over all files/folders, or does a search, and then applies tags per file.

  Hi @cbetta

   

  Would you have an example of this script? I am looking for a template I can use that will loop over all files in my 'Photos' folder and then allow me to apply the individual tags for each file.
