Adding tags to existing jobs

[thegitofdaniel]

Hello team,

Is there documentation on how to use the Python-SDK to add tags to existing jobs?

I have the following snippet that works for existing models:

# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-manage-models?view=azureml-api-2&tabs=python%2Cuse-local
model = ml_client.models.get(name=model_name, version=model_version)
print(model.tags)
model.tags = {'hello': 'world'}
ml_client.models.create_or_update(model) # prints { }
model = ml_client.models.get(name=model_name, version=model_version)
print(model.tags) # prints {'hello': 'world'}

However, a similar implementation for jobs returns an error:

job = ml_client.jobs.get(name=job_id)
print(job.tags) # prints tags
job.tags = {'hello': 'world'}
ml_client.jobs.create_or_update(job) # raises error
job = ml_client.jobs.get(name=job_id)
print(job.tags)

The error is:

HttpResponseError: (UserError) A job with this name already exists. If you are trying to create a new job, use a different name. If you are trying to update an existing job, the existing job's Settings,  Inputs,  Outputs,  Jobs,  InputBindings,  OutputBindings cannot be changed. Only description, tags, displayName, properties, and isArchived can be updated.

    }
}

Further info:

• As it's possible to add tags using the UI, I can only imagine it's possible to add tags using the SDK, but the exact syntax is unclear.
• The error message is confirming it's possible to update tags.
• The job is a 'PipelineJob'.

I appreaciate your support,
Daniel
