API 2.0 - Created segments will not honor tags

[sesamechicken]

Howdy! I'm using the API to create a new segment and when the response comes back (as a 200), tags is just an empty array. Am I doing something wrong or is this some kind of bug with the API?

POST to https://analytics.adobe.io/api/kroger1/segments?expansion=tags

Also, it seems that no matter what ownerID I use, I am the owner of the segment created. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Payload:

@sesamechicken  Can you try the same request on swagger UI as given below ? Make sure that all the required parameters are filled in proper format.

I've tried via Postman and the swagger docs. Both yield a 200 but an empty tag array.

Got the answer via GitHub - tagging segments upon creation is not supported and one must use the `/componentmetadata/tags` endpoint to tag newly created segments.
