   Altering the object $record after when the before_save_form_record does work as expected. I have tried the following different ways of doing it with no luck. I'm about to pull my hair out!! What am I doing wrong?

   Method 1 - Simply edit the record
   

   add_plugin_hook('before_save_form_record', 'my_before_save_record');
   
   function my_before_save_record($record) {
   	$record["tags"] = "Hello,World";
   }

   Method 2 - Return the edited record
   

   add_plugin_hook('before_save_form_record', 'my_before_save_record');
   
   function my_before_save_record($record) {
   	$record["tags"] = "Hello,World";
   	return $record;
   }

   Method 3 - Attempt to capture record by reference
   

   add_plugin_hook('before_save_form_record', 'my_before_save_record');
   
   function my_before_save_record(&$record) {
   	$record["tags"] = "Hello,World";
   }

   What do I need to do to get this to work?

   Many Thanks
   Stephen

   Your problem is that you can't assign tags by simply assigning them to the Record.

   Your best bet is to use the update_item() function (sadly undocumented on the Codex as of now).

   update_item($item, array('tags' => 'Hello,World'));
