Why with attachTag method of spatie/laravel-tags I got 2 rows in tags table?

Question

In laravel 9 with spatie/laravel-tags 4.3 I add some initial data in seeder tagged with code like :

        $this->votes_tag_type= 'votesTagType';
        $lNewVote= Vote::create([
            'id'               => 1,
            'name'             => 'To be or not to be ?',
            'slug'             => 'to-be-or-not-to-be',
            'description'      => 'Still trying to find an answer. is the opening phrase of a soliloquy spoken by <i><i>Prince <i>Hamlet</i></i></i> in the so-called "nunnery scene" of <i><i>William Shakespeare</i>\'s</i> play <i>Hamlet</i>. Act III, Scene I.Though it is called a soliloquy <i>Hamlet</i> is not alone when he makes this speech because Ophelia is on stage pretending to read while waiting for <i>Hamlet</i> to notice her, and Claudius and Polonius, who have placed Ophelia in <i><i>Hamlet</i>\'s</i> way in order to overhear their conversation and find out if <i>Hamlet</i> is really mad or only pretending, have concealed themselves. Even so, <i>Hamlet</i> seems to consider himself alone and there is no indication that the others on stage hear him before he addresses Ophelia. In the speech, <i>Hamlet</i> contemplates death and suicide, bemoaning the pain and unfairness of life but acknowledging that the alternative might be worse. The meaning of the speech is heavily debated but seems clearly concerned with <i><i>Hamlet</i>\'s</i> hesitation to avenge his father\'s murder (discovered in Act I) by his uncle Claudius.

            'creator_id'       => 3,
            'vote_category_id' => 1,   // Classic literature
            'is_quiz'          => false,
            'is_homepage'      => true,
            'ordering'         => 1,
            'status'           => 'A',
            'meta_description' => 'William Shakespeare with eternal question',
            'meta_keywords'    => ['Hamlet', 'William Shakespeare', 'Theater'],
            'image'            => 'tobe.png',
        ]);

        $newTag= SpatieTag::findOrCreate('Hamlet', $this->votes_tag_type);
        $lNewVote->attachTag('Hamlet', $this->votes_tag_type);

But with attachTag method used above I see 2 rows in tags table : https://prnt.sc/HzSVdpf0zDlf also in taggables table I see rows with tag_id = 2. Assigned to 2nd row in tags table. I think that is not valid, but what is wrong ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Valid code is:

$lNewVote->syncTagsWithType(['Hamlet', 'William Shakespeare', 'Drama', 'Theater'],  $this->votes_tag_type);
