Add aribtary tag to VM during instance creation

[returntrip]

Is there any way to add tags or any other meta data to a VM during its creation (both from API or UI)?
Would be nice to have a system to create tags before hand which can then be selected during the instance creation process

There is an option for a Group in which you can separate the VMs into individual groups

CloudStack 4.22 does support copyimagetags=true during deployment, which copies existing tags from the template/ISO to the new VM, but it does not let you specify new arbitrary tags in the deploy call.

This is not just a limitation of the UI. Also the API does not support to specify tags on the fly.
