Name tag not applied for volume when creating a snapshot

Hi all,

I have an issue regarding the process of creating a snapshot for a certain EBS volume class by using boto3. It seems that, even though i declare a Name tag explicitly, that tag doesn’t get saved. I eventually end up with a blank name tag on the Snapshot declaration:

This is how my code essentially looks like: I have a volume object:

type(volume)
<class 'boto3.resources.factory.ec2.Volume'>

The rest:

tags = [{'Key': 'Name', 'Value': 'some-name'}]
    volume.create_tags(Tags=tags)
    volume.create_snapshot(
        VolumeId=volume.id,
        Description=description
    )

Am i missing something here, or is this a bug? Please help

I see your point. Thank you @JordonPhillips . I will close this then, appreciate the help!

boto2 would do that, however doing so is an opinionated decision that could not be opted out of. That additional request costs you both money and time and prevents you from adding other tags in the request to make the most out of it. For those reasons (and several others) we avoid making requests on your behalf when you haven’t explicitly initiated them.
