Hi, Is it possible to add tags to a project within the sonar-projects.properties file? There’s no mention of it in the documentation (from what i’ve seen) - it would not be good if we (the administrators) have to do this manually on the project page. Thanks

We would use the feature to tag the project (e.g. technology, or architectural context). We would use the tags within Sonarqube then to define portfolios with the help of the tags, without the need to manually maintain this.

Hi @thjenny , Your use case is perfectly supported - via the UI. :slight_smile: Ann

Hi Ann, I know that I can do this via the UI, but I’d like to automate this, as I said: “without the need to manually maintain this”. So no, not “perfectly” supported. If we can automate this, we could define these project attributes or tags in the source itself in one place, and the build process…

Hi, The UI uses web services (api/project_tags/set). Your automation could too. Ann

I don’t really understand this answer. sonar.projectKey is not ‘ephemeral’ sonar.projectName is not really either nor sonar.projectDescription Why couldn’t we add project metadata directly in the properties ? Projects are mostly created automatically from CI, adding the tags in the properties fi…

Hi Ann! I hope all is well with you! I’m a +1 for this feature request. We have a documented template for the sonar-project.properties file for a given domain context. When a new project is created, this template is used and only sonar.projectKey and projectName need to be set. But we need to manu…

I would like to add my support for this feature request. We are a large organization with many (1000+) projects. We use project tags to differentiate components belonging to different teams or departments. Having a way for teams to add in project level metadata without having to log into a UI wou…

For the record @jorcutt.ebsco , Project Administrators can add tags, and IMO someone in each project should be a project admin. Otherwise, yeah. You really are biting off a lot at the global admin level. HTH, Ann

Hi all! Just to let you know. I have found a plugin (Project Tag) that pretends to add this feature into SonarQube. Check it out: [image] Project Tag Plugin for SonarQube Set project tag during analysis It seems quite simple but maybe it is what you are look…

Hi,

This is not possible.

Would you explain why, please? Project tags are not meant to be ephemeral; changing from analysis to analysis. They’re meant to categorize the project as a whole.
