I tried setting it as a config option like <https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/blob/main/python/database_migration/main.py#L84>
but it only supports strings - and tags are dictionaries

I’m having the same problem - has anyone come up with a workaround?

How about via provider args? (dotnet/c#):

Good suggestion <@UCFNE2370>. Is that something that’s configurable in the automation API? I’ll have to take a look.

In the meantime, I did find a workaround that works for me. Create a function that writes out the stack config, and the automation API will refresh it. (based off of <https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/blob/main/nodejs/localProgram-tsnode/automation/index.ts|this example>)

<@UCFNE2370>’s you're not use the automation api
<@U020U8KUC14> that's a really wonky workaround
I'm going to wait for a better answer thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

I use the automation api...

There must be a way to do this when first initializing the stack - when first configuring the stack

My stacks ask the base class for an aws provider, which wires up the default tags, and this provider is used for all aws resources in that stack.
