Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has found a way to download a list from EA that includes a column indicating tags.
I was recently asked to download a list from EA, and I wanted to include a column showing which specific tag each person had.
The way we use tags in our organization is through a hierarchy. For example, we have a main “2026” tag with subtags for events our organization hosted or participated in.
In this particular case, I created a list by selecting everyone with the overall “2026” tag. The list generated correctly, but when I went to download it, I wanted to include a column showing which subtag within the 2026 hierarchy each person belonged to.
The only workaround I could find was to create separate lists for each individual subtag, but that would require running a large number of searches.
Has anyone encountered this issue or found a better solution for something similar?
Thank you in advance!
Downloading Lists with Tags

There’s an export format (not report) called Tags List that will give you all the tags plus VAN ID for contacts that have them. The hitch there is that you can’t add other columns to that export format beyond the tag name, code, description, date it was created, and by whom. So if you have a different report with a lot of other information, you’d need to do some fancy Excel magic to add all the tags to records with matching VAN ID. (Or possibly an AI tool can do that for you instead of writing XLOOKUP code these days...)
