Creates a tag and assigns it to: * An Entry if the method name is projects.locations.entryGroups.entries.tags.create. * Or EntryGroupif the method name is projects.locations.entryGroups.tags.create. Note: The project identified by the parent parameter for the [tag] (https://cloud.google.com/data-catalog/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.entryGroups.entries.tags/create#path-parameters) and the [tag template] (https://cloud.google.com/data-catalog/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.tagTemplates/create#path-parameters) used to create the tag must be in the same organization.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: datacatalog1 --scope <scope> projects locations-entry-groups-entries-tags-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The name of the resource to attach this tag to. Tags can be attached to entries or entry groups. An entry can have up to 1000 attached tags. Note: The tag and its child resources might not be stored in the location specified in its name.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

GoogleCloudDatacatalogV1Tag:
  column: string
  name: string
  template: string
  template-display-name: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . column=at
    • Resources like entry can have schemas associated with them. This scope allows you to attach tags to an individual column based on that schema. To attach a tag to a nested column, separate column names with a dot (.). Example: column.nested_column.
  • name=dolores
    • The resource name of the tag in URL format where tag ID is a system-generated identifier. Note: The tag itself might not be stored in the location specified in its name.
  • template=consetetur
    • Required. The resource name of the tag template this tag uses. Example: projects/{PROJECT_ID}/locations/{LOCATION}/tagTemplates/{TAG_TEMPLATE_ID} This field cannot be modified after creation.
  • template-display-name=gubergren
    • Output only. The display name of the tag template.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string
