definitely helped, resolved my issue...RTFM

(was using this task in azure devops pipelines. first thing i was doing wrong was, i was trying to create new tags all in one line instead of separating them out properly. second thing i was doing wrong was performing the task on a file after publishing the artifact. patch the file before)
