Support the ability to bulk Import or Export Tags

When I asked Freshdesk support about exporting tags, here’s the response I received:

You could get the tag data by exporting the entire helpdesk data. 

Go to Admin -> Account -> Account Details >Export data > click on the Export button on this page, to receive the data. The export of the entire helpdesk data, in XML format, will be sent to your registered agent email address of this account.

I tried this.  It took 13 minutes to receive the download link via email and another 1 minute to download the 65 MB ZPI file.  After unzipping, this was what I found:

There are XML files for...

• users (aka “contacts”)
• tickets,
• companies
• groups and
• solutions

...but not tags.  :-(

So, what I ended up doing to create my list of tags was to copy each tag one by one from the Tags page in the Admin module and paste to spreadsheet.  A tedious bit of work but at least our FD account only has 41 tags.
