Hi Srushti, you can use the **system.tag.configure()** function, the manual has some great examples that helped me when i first had to do this.  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.configure](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.configure)  
Basically, if you want to edit a whole folder it'll look something like this:

```auto
folderPath = '[Handling]Modo'
configs = system.tag.getConfiguration('[Handling]Modo', True)[0]['tags']
for config in configs:
	config['tagGroup'] = 'NewTagGroup'
system.tag.configure(FolderPath, configs)

```

You can also use the tag read and write functions to directly read and write the tagGroup subproperty of any live tag, which is likely going to be more performant, at scale, than configure().
