Feature Request : Adding a tag for a run of the connector

[AmineI]

Hi,
One of the features of the official firefly iii data importer is to be able to set a specific tag for all the transactions in an import.

For example, if I run the importer today, on 07/02/2024 at 13:19, all transaction imported that run are tagged [Data Import on 2024-02-07 @ 13:19]. You can optionally customize the name of the tag used instead of this default format. All transactions could be tagged "Plaid_import" for example. This would allow for more advanced rules on the imported transactions, to adjust them as needed.

Could such a feature be implemented on this connector as well, in batch and/or poll mode ?

Thanks for your work on this project, looking forward to digging into the code while I get a Plaid account approved :) !

@AmineI that seems like a reasonable feature request. I'll add it to my list, although fair warning it may take a while.

Any other tokens you want available in the tag aside from date and time?

[AmineI]

Thanks for your answer - of course, it's a hobby/community project so it's not expected to be our priority !

Nothing comes to mind besides date and time. Name of the bank can easily be obtained from the transaction themselves for example.

I've become a bit more familiar with your code. I'm not an expert in Kotlin or Spring boot, but I've forked your project and implemented a basic MVP.

main...AmineI:firefly-plaid-connector-2:tags

I realize it is not as flexible as you envisioned (when you mentioned tokens), so I didn't submit a PR for now. Just sharing in case a developer or user can leverage this !
