Trying to automate tag creation for Ducts in Revit 2019 using the following script. When I run it, i’m getting dots instead of tags on each duct. ![tag_script](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/a/ba37e1629941e278974184f48197803cf98d0899.png) ---

Hi, You forget to connect the _All Elements of Category_ output to the _elements_ input of_Create Independent Tag_. The longest lacing isn’t necessary. ---

Yes, thank you, I did catch that but it still isn’t working. I’m getting TypeError: Duct is not iterable. ![Not-Iterable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/d/ed2a089e8ca2ff5e2ab569cf294e6c130d1a6b2b.png) ---

I did change the lacing to shortest and had to remove and re-add the active view node but it does seem to be working now. Thanks. ---

No need for lacing or list level when you tag a view at a time. Here is an example : ![Tag%20Ducts](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/e/ce6a187451c2570207d34882050f3ef6e1ba5126.png) ---

List is getting for Current Model Elements. But for Linked elements we are not getting the List Output. ![link & Current](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/f/a/fa565756213cbdae2eed63e6697f17d184006086.jpeg) ---

Hi, See this post for a workaround with the _Collect.ElementsInView_ node in the Spring package to collect the independent tags. > [@Create Independent Tag output result NULL](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/create-independent-tag-output-result-null/42242/6): > > Don’t forget the order of operations. A passthrough node allows you to collect tags after they are created. I think it’s the same thing with the Create Tag node. You can select the tag of an element created in the current document with the Select Model Element node. [Select] I don’t have a solution to improve the node for now. ---
