Hey all

I’m trying to use the Box Typescript SDK’s `client.search.searchForContent()` method to query for Folders using `tags`.

There are two routes that I tried, both did not result in success, so was hoping someone knows what’s going on. The two routes were:

Update Folder `tags` property:

• on Folder Create, add step which calls PATCH Folder (`client.folders.updateFolderById`) and update `tags` property

  • const folder = await this.scopedClient.folders.updateFolderById(
            folderId,
            {
              requestBody: {
                tags: tags
              },
            }
          );

  • oddly, when I GET Folder after this PATCH, I don’t see the “tags” attribute defined (ie: `tags: undefined`). I tried the same call, with both `name` and `tags`, and still, `tags` was not updated, however `name` was updated and changed
• when query’ing, add to query params `query: {tags}`

  • const searchResults = await this.scopedClient.search.searchForContent({
            contentTypes: 'tags',
            query: tags.join(' '),
            type: 'folder',
            fields:  'id', 'name'],
            ancestorFolderIds: parentfolderId,
          });

• though querying for tags here should result in h] since `tags` wasn’t updated (or it was in a nested attribute?)

Create Folder Metadata:

• on Folder Create, add step which calls POST FolderMetadata `client.folderMetadata.createFolderMetadataById()` 

  • const folderMetadata = await this.scopedClient.folderMetadata.createFolderMetadataById(
            folderId,
            'global',
            'properties',
            {
               'tags']: tags 0],
            },
          );

  • again, this had a similar issue as the PATCH Folders, in that the `metadata` attribute was `undefined`, though the FolderMetadata instance was created
• when query’ing, add to query params `mdfilters: {filters}`

  • const searchResults = await this.scopedClient.search.searchForContent({
            mdfilters: /
              {
                scope: 'global',
                templateKey: 'properties',
                filters: {
                  {'tags']: 'tax_docs'
                }
              }
            ],
            type: 'folder',
            fields: b'id', 'name', 'type'],
            ancestorFolderIds: parentfolderId,
            limit: 200 // Add reasonable limit
          });

    (the ‘tags’ value here was hard-coded for testing purposes)

Bad Request:

• in both cases, I’d get the error `400: Bad Request`, with no information on why they were Bad Requests. 

Any help would be appreciated. We would like to add `tags` to our Folders in some capacity.
