Cannot add tags to a task

Posted on behalf of Jeannette Rigor. Original posting date 2014-12-19.

I am using the python API example , however when I create a task I am unable to create tags:

Code sample:

task_options = {
            'name': 'Bug ' ,
            'description': 'description'
            'custom_field_values': {
                'Task Status':'Backlog'
            },
            'tags':{
                'text':'bug'
            },
            'parent_id': int(inboxID)
        }

    new_task = lpSession.create_task(task_options)
    print "Added task %(name)s with id %(id)s" % new_task

All fields get created except the tags, please help.

Thanks.
