I am building a Python application to manage my film wishlist and want to assign distinct tags to each movie. According to Notion’s documentation, multi-select properties consist of an array of selectable options. Could someone explain how to add these tag elements via the Notion API or suggest a way to create a database with a tag template? Any guidance or sample code would be much appreciated.
i had luck updting my multi-select prop by sending an array of tag objs, like {id:‘tags’, multi_select:[{name:‘comedy’}]}. tweak your payload as needed - hope dis helps!
In my experience, properly assigning tags through the Notion API primarily depends on matching the property schema defined in your device. I initially encountered issues when the tag names in my payload didn’t match the ones established when setting up my multi-select field. Once I modified my approach to initially retrieve the list of available options, the update became straightforward. Ensuring that each tag in the multi-select array corresponds exactly to a predefined option was key to achieving the desired results.
I had a similar experience where understanding the multi-select field schema was crucial. I overcame the tagging issue by first retrieving the current database schema before attempting to update any records. This allowed me to see exactly which options were valid for the multi-select field. After aligning my payload with the retrieved schema, I started updating the tags successfully. This process helped me handle potential discrepancies in tag names or structure, making it easier to debug and maintain the device even as my list of films and corresponding tags grew over time.
hey, i discovered you gotta pull the schema first to see valid tag options. once you do that, sending a well formatted multi_select array does the trick. small typos can mess it up so double-check details. hope this helps and good luck!
