Grabbing Name attribute of Tags/Tag in Rally

I have been looking at the rally Object model, but I can't figure out how to grab the Name attribute of a Defect's Tag.

I made sure to include Tag and Tags in my fetch statement. I am storing all the defects into an array of objects called defectsNEWDEFECTS[]

I can return a Tag object by doing this:

 tagNEWDEFECTS = defectsNEWDEFECTS[i].Tags;
document.write(tagNEWDEFECTS);

which will return this:

[object Object]

But, I can't seem to get it to return the NAME of the tag. I tried:

tagNEWDEFECTS = defectsNEWDEFECTS[i].Tags.Name;
tagNEWDEFECTS = defectsNEWDEFECTS[i].Tags.Tag.Name;
tagNEWDEFECTS = defectsNEWDEFECTS[i].Tag.Name;

But they all return 'undefined'.

Any ideas how to get the name of a tag? Ultimately, the goal here is to have user-input custom tags that I can flag in my program to do certain things. For example, one tag will be named 'RollOverDefect'.

I need to be able to determine which Defects have a Tag called 'RollOverDefect'

Thanks!

You may find this example to be useful:

    var table = null;

    function defectsWithTagsExample() {
        var rallyDataSource = new rally.sdk.data.RallyDataSource('__WORKSPACE_OID__',

            '__PROJECT_SCOPING_UP__',

        function itemQuery() {
            var queryObject = {
                key: 'defects',

                linkConfig = {item: {FormattedID: myDefect.FormattedID, "_ref" : myDefect._ref}};
                defectLink = new rally.sdk.ui.basic.Link(linkConfig);

                table.setCell(i, 0, defectLink.renderToHtml());
                table.setCell(i, 4, myTagString);
            }

            table.display(tableDiv);

        };

        itemQuery();
    }

    rally.addOnLoad(defectsWithTagsExample);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="aDiv"></div>
</body>
</html>

Tags is a collection, so you'll ultimately need a nested loop over the Tags collection attribute to handle this. Once you've nested into an additional loop, you can reference the Tag Name via:

tagNEWDEFECTS = defectsNEWDEFECTS[i].Tags[j].Name;

Hope this is helpful - let us know if that gets the job done.
