Fair point, and we’ll look into some easier ways to update a single attribute tag through the Device: Update Node.

Here’s another way that you may find easier to use: The [bulk device update API endpoint](https://docs.losant.com/rest-api/devices/#patch) supports adding, editing, or removing attribute tags one at a time. So instead of using the [Device: Update Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/update-device/), you could use the [Losant API Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/losant-api/) targeting the Devices: Patch resource/action. Demonstration workflow is attached.

The downside is that the bulk edit operation does not include the updated device(s) in the response, hence the Device: Get Node following the Losant API Nodes so that you can get the device with the updates applied.
