While I don’t disagree with Phil about unconditional updates to the DB, this is actually supported - there’s code on the backend to attempt to determine the query type, and issue it to the db as an update/select appropriately- and there’s also a manual query type override, that we’re just not exposing in the UI - I’m not sure why.

@AIO, I can’t guarantee this will work, but if you right click the tag, select ‘Edit (raw)’, and then add a `queryType: Update` property, do you still get the error on the tag?
