Hi Richard,

I'm attempting to import a CSV of tags "tag1,tag2,tag3" from an SQL Server table using the standard Umbraco tags datatype.  After running the import, I can edit the node and see that the Tags appear in the datatype.

However, on the front-end, the Tags property has no data until I manually Publish the node.  Selecting Auto-Publish or Publishing through the Umbraco context menu doesn't fix the issue - I have to manually publish each node in the UI.

Digging deeper, it looks like the cmsPropertyData table never gets populated with the tags during the import.  After I manually publish, the table then has "tag1,tag2" as the value.  It seems the import creates the tags in cmsTags and cmsTagRelations, but the cmsPropertyData table and umbraco.config remain empty for that property.  I think what's happening is, the editContent page is populating the Tags list from the cmsTags table, and using that info when I Save to populate the tables/cache with the CSV value.  

I'm guessing the field adapter for Tags is only creating the tags in the table, but not returning the tags as a string for the value.

For now, I'm just manually publishing each of the pages to resolve - just thought I'd let you know about the issue.  I also thought about writing a custom FieldAdapter, but I wasn't sure if these could override built-in ones?

Thanks,
Tom
