A user is migrating from product tags to metafields and needs to populate a single metafield with multiple values based on existing tags. For instance, products tagged “French” and “Modern” should have both values added to a “Period” metafield.

I’m preparing to transition from tags to metafields, and need to create a flow to add multiple values to one metafield based on product tags. For example, a product might be tagged “French” and “Modern”, and both of those values should be added to the “Period” metafield.
The issue I’m having is that my flow will only add one value to the metafield, not both.
The simpler way to do that is to write some code instead. Something like:
Put liquid code in the update product metafield to loop over the tags and build that list. Or put in a Run code action to do that via JavaScript instead. This code example is similar, except it looks for tags that have a prefix on them. https://github.com/Shopify/flow-code-examples/blob/main/run-code-examples/product-tags-to-metafields/index.js
