How to add multiple values to one tag?

Question

Hi,
I would like to add multiple values to one tag. E.g. a database might be used for several projects, so I would like to assign two project ids. I tried separating with semicolon or whitespace, added JSON as shown on the linked page but was not successful.

azure-resource-tags-in-json-format

So, how can I have a name "projectid" and provide values "1001 1002" so that it is also possible to search for 1001 and receive this resource as result? A workaround would be to have "projectid1" and "projectid2" but that is not really suitable for searching.

@John Connor - Thanks for reaching out.

Currently a tag key can only have one string field as the value. Since it is only this one text field, a user cannot list multiple different strings in array, but you can append to the string if needed. So, for example: If it is "CostCode" as the Key, the value is "123". To add an additional value to this, you would need to have a value like "123,234".

Product team is working on a new feature to allow an array of values to be created, but that will be later in 2022.

Hope that helps.
