Thanks all. I know that I can call tags from the command line and that my example will apply new tags in my playbook. But to me a playbook by design should be able to run all the tasks that you need to run by calling the tags you have set in tasks/*.yml. Instead we are now presented with 2 options: 1. Write a wrapper script (oh no) 2. Further dismantle tasks into separate yml files so that you can call these with include in your playbook.
Surely a playbook by design should be a playbook? Many thanks.
