Problem/Motivation

MailChimp tags are a useful segmenting tool. Up until recently, site builders often used hidden interest groups for this purpose. There's even a patch to this module that makes it easier to integrate with this feature. However, we discovered a bug that prevented interest groups from working correctly. Furthermore, tags appear to be the more appropriate interface for hidden segmentation as of 2020.

We have a couple of patches that accomplished our goal of being able to tag members from D8. Unfortunately, it required patching both the this module as well as the Mailchimp module. The patches are fragile given all the moving parts of the MailChimp ecosystem at the moment. But we thought it would be helpful to document our efforts here, and possibly begin collaborating on a shared solution. You can see our initial implementation with this commit.

This is exactly what I'm after right now.

If we can get buy-in for this approach on #2999677: Add support for Multiple Tags it's worth implementing i.m.o.

@a-fro Many thanks for linking this. Was just what I needed and spared me the time to write the code myself!

Added a patch to allow for setting Tags on subscribers through each webform's config. Single tag or comma-separated list.
