Required object tags

Workspace administrators can configure required tags that must be present on all objects before the objects can be saved. This ensures consistent tagging practices across your organization.

📘
Note
Required object tags are enforced only in the Observe UI. They are not enforced when creating or updating objects via Terraform or GraphQL API.
If you need required object tag enforcement for Terraform or GraphQL workflows, contact Observe support to request this feature be enabled for your workspace. Before requesting enforcement via Terraform or GraphQL, make sure the majority of your objects managed by Terraform already have the required tags applied. Once enforcement is enabled, any Terraform apply operations on objects that are missing the required object tags will fail, potentially blocking your infrastructure-as-code workflows.

Hover on your user name in the left navigation rail, then select Manage account.
Click Workspace settings.
Select Required object tags.
Click Add required tag.
Add the tag keys you want to make required.
Click Apply Changes.

Once configured, these requirements apply to all new and existing objects:

You can't save a new object without providing the required object tags.
You can't edit and save an existing object without providing the required object tags.
