API Create Discussions multi tag

BillyS_

How can I create a discussion over api using multiple tags?

{
  "data":{
    "type": "discussions",
    "attributes": {
      "title": "Lorem Ipsum",
      "content": "Hello World"
    },
    "relationships": {
      "tags": {
        "data": [
           {
            "type": "tags",
            "id": "5"
          },
          {
            "type": "tags",
            "id": "8"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

"errors": [
{
"status": "422",
"code": "validation_error",
"detail": "tag count primary should be 1.",
"source": {
"pointer": "/data/relationships/tags"
}
}
]

BillyS_ is either tag 8 or 5 a primary tag?

BillyS_

Yes, both of them are primary tags and we can select more than one when creating a discussion as well. How to do this through the api 2 primary tags

BillyS_ best way to check if your payload is right is looking at the request flarum makes. I can't look right now.

I looked but again there is 1 example of a primary tag in api docs. How do I use multiple primary tags through the API?

Your API request syntax is correct. The validation error means your selection doesn't fit your global tags min/max settings.

There is no difference in the way primary and secondary tags are sent to the API, they are all listed in the single array and validation is done server-side.

If you think more primary tags should be allowed, double-check your tag min/max settings on the Tags extension page in the admin panel.

If you wish to "bypass tags settings" like admins can do in the Flarum UI, just make sure your API user is part of the admin group or has the bypass tags permission given to its group. Then passing any combination of tags to the API should automatically pass the validation.
