Info
When creating tags through the API, names can be up to 255 characters. The tag creation form on this page keeps names to 40 characters so they fit inline in the tag list and badges. The same allowed-character and minimum-length rules apply to datastore group names.
Step 3: Click on the Save button to save your tag.

After clicking the Save button, the tag will be added to the system and a success message will appear.
