Adding Tags Programmatically in Gutenberg
-
Hi all, I’m attempting to add tags to a post programmatically using a sidebar plugin for the Gutenberg editor. I’m using the following approach:
var tag_id = 23; var is_tax_panel_opened = wp.data.select( 'core/edit-post' ).isEditorPanelOpened( 'taxonomy-panel-tags' ); var selected_term_ids = wp.data.select( 'core/editor' ).getEditedPostAttribute( 'tags' ); // set terms if ( ! selected_term_ids.includes( tag_id ) ) { selected_term_ids.push( tag_id ); wp.data.dispatch( 'core/editor' ).editPost( { 'tags': selected_term_ids } ); // close and re-open the panel to reload the term data if ( is_tax_panel_opened ) { wp.data.dispatch( 'core/edit-post' ).toggleEditorPanelOpened( 'taxonomy-panel-tags' ); wp.data.dispatch( 'core/edit-post' ).toggleEditorPanelOpened( 'taxonomy-panel-tags' ); } }Implemented from: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/15147#issuecomment-971715897
I’m finding that the UI will update to reflect the tags added, the redux store is also updated and contains the tags that have been added. However, if I then update the post (which I have to enable through updating a private metafield otherwise the update button remains disabled until other content is updated too) the UI reloads and the tags have been removed (and not saved).
Any thoughts?
