Set tags for published file entity when publishing

Pipeline Integrations

Hello there!

I added a custom publisher to the tk-publish, which has a class that can publish specific files. These create published file entities in the system just right. I can set their name and published_file_type etc. However I’d like to set some tags for the published file entity too.

In my class’ publish function:

HookBaseClass = sgtk.get_hook_baseclass()

class MyCustomPublishPlugin(HookBaseClass):
        (...)

    def publish(self, settings, item):
        (...)
        item.properties['published_file_type'] = 'XYZ File'  # works fine
        item.properties['name'] = 'some_name'  # works fine
        item.properties['tags'] = ['Render'] # not the right solution...
     
        super(MyCustomPublishPlugin, self).publish(settings, item)

I checked the BasicFilePublishPlugin for more information about it’s publish function to check how it requires the tags to be passed to, just to find tags are not handled specifically:

        publish_data = {
            "tk": publisher.sgtk,
            "context": item.context,
            "comment": item.description,
            "path": publish_path,
            "name": publish_name,
            "created_by": publish_user,
            "version_number": publish_version,
            "thumbnail_path": item.get_thumbnail_as_path(),
            "published_file_type": publish_type,
            "dependency_paths": publish_dependencies_paths,
            "dependency_ids": publish_dependencies_ids,
            "sg_fields": publish_fields,
        }

        # add extra kwargs
        publish_data.update(publish_kwargs)

Maybe I need to use the publish_fields or publish_kwargs somehow? It’s not very clear how should I use them if one of them is even the solution for the tags here.

Any help is appreciated!
