Order rest api update tag removes the previous tags

Shopify Apps

Hi, I am using shopify order rest api put request to update order tag but when I run the PUT request it removes the previous order tags. I want to keep the old tags and add the new tags in order.

Same happen with order notes.

Is there any solution ?

  }
}

Dear hexonsoft,

with the REST API, I think it is not possible to keep the old tags while performing a PUT request. However I noticed, that it is possible by using the GraphQL API. There is a mutation to add tags: https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2021-10/mutations/tagsAdd and it kept the previous tags, when I execute it.

For example:

mutation tagsAdd {
  tagsAdd(id: "gid://shopify/Order/
