            Description

            Civi issue inserting array
            When trying to add an array of tags Example: ["1","2","3"] to a contact using API : EntityTag-Create a set of tags are not added whenever one if them is already assigned to contact and in result shows "not added":"1"

            Prevents that ability to mass update contacts by tag array.

            We will be happy to fund this to get this resolved.

                  Thanks for your offer to fund this issue. Can you describe the problem in a bit more detail? Are you saying that if one of the tags already exists then the others will fail?

                  Yes correct, if one of the tags already exists then all others will fail.

                  I would show the issue , but there is another bug i reported that prevents showing it in dmaster.
                  [JIRA] (CRM-18512) API explorer , when selecting a tag it should show its id in url not name
                  Key: CRM-18512
                  URL: https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18512

                  I've tested this out in the api explorer and found the bug has a bit of nuance to it:

                  1. Use the api explorer with the "EntityTag" api to add "Company" to a contact.
                  2. Visit the contact screen and verify they now have the tag
                  3. Now use the exploer to add "Company, Volunteer"
                  4. See that the contact has not received the "Volunteer" tag, but for no apparent reason now has the "Non-Profit" tag.

                  Josh Ovett if you would like to fund the core team to resolve this bug I would estimate it to be a 3-5 hour task. Rates are here: https://civicrm.org/work-with-the-core-team

                  I just set fixVersion to unscheduled since it doesn't look like this is en target for 4.7.9 - please set the fix version when it is clear which version it will be in
