Set tags on ipaddress over netboxshell

[julianstolp]

Hello, I'am trying to set a tag to an ipaddress over the netboxshell. But I don't get it. I checked all methods below inside the Netbox UI but none of them are working.

from ipam.models import *
from extras.models import *
ip_obj = IPAddress.objects.filter(address='10.10.10.10/24').first()
ip_obj

10.10.10.10/24

dir(ip_obj)

ip_obj.tags

ipam.IPAddress.None

ip_obj.tags = [72]
ip_obj.save()
ip_obj.tags

[72]

ip_obj.tags = 72
ip_obj.save()
ip_obj.tags

72

tag_obj = Tag.objects.get(pk=72)
tag_obj

Check Me!

ip_obj.tags = tag_obj
ip_obj.save()
ip_obj.tags

<Tag: Check Me!>

I tried it with the pynetboxapi and it works.

ip_obj = nb.ipam.ip_addresses.get(address='1010.10.10/24')
ip_obj.tags = [72]
ip_obj.save()

Do I miss something?

Tag assignments are a many-to-many relationship, wherein a separate table is used to track each tag assignment to an object, so these work a bit differently from concrete model fields. To assign tags, use the add() or set() method on the manager:

ip_obj.tags.add(tag_obj)

You can find complete documentation of the available methods in the django-taggit docs. Hope that helps!
