Sorry posted the wrong example.

curl --location --request PATCH 'http://netbox-dev.contoso.com/api/dcim/interfaces/16380/' \
--header 'Authorization: Token fe83d4e3ca6296fb681e1b821278c22ab9e0de3e' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Cookie: csrftoken=Nd5JxE3OHT0WjwyNRZovQFldz7gYRQqCdExkNFNlmJul9U01kNZ9kAOda6tsWRaN' \
--data-raw '{

    "tags": [
        {
            "slug": "bgp"
        },
        {
            "slug": "alcatel"
        }

I'm not able to reproduce this on v2.9.7

[ohthateverest]

Trying it again and it works now, Gonna chalk this up to maybe something weird being cached. Sorry for chasing ghosts.
