Hi all,

is there any chance to add a tag to an existing \_id field via Put ?

For instance:  
 ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/9/4996ac319aadf4f9cdab3e02b901c1d6fe9ee8e3.png)

Now I would like to add a tag to each entrie to be able to add information about their runnnng status.

Lets say: for lxvqkWoBN5riFPJe1n47 add tag "tba" or "inProgress" eg.

Thanks for any suggestion

Regards  
Thorben
