Support updating pipeline metadata tags from YAML during bi-directional sync
long-term

Currently, when YAML is stored in GIT, and tags are added or updated directly in the YAML file within GIT, those changes do not update the pipeline metadata. As a result, the pipeline metadata does not reflect the new or modified tags.
During execution, tags are read from the pipeline metadata — not from the YAML file — so executions do not display the updated tags.
This is the expected behavior with the current bi-directional sync mechanism. However, this creates a gap between the tags defined in YAML and the metadata used during execution.
Enable the pipeline metadata to be automatically updated when tags are modified in the GIT-stored YAML file, ensuring metadata and YAML remain synchronized for tags as part of bi-directional sync.

Thank you for your request. With the current design, this is difficult to solve, since we can only update the Pipeline Metadata tags when the Pipeline is saved in the UI (because different versions of the Pipeline in different branches may have different tags).
I would like to point out, though, that the Pipeline Execution instance does read the tags from the executing Pipeline YAML to maintain consistency there.
We are internally evaluating ways to resolve this problem and may have a redesign of the Tags system to solve it in the coming year. We will keep this ticket updated as we have a solution.

+1. For my team, managing pipelines through GIT is very important, as it saves us significant time. I also believe that if pipelines are supported in the GIT Experience, all their elements should be updated properly using IaC.

+1 on this - we depend on tags for a few things, including deployment ordering and entity retrieval in more complex pipelines. We very badly need a reliable way to propagate tags from remote entity YAML into the API fields.
