My 2 cents: I would also like to be able to set tags for a node via knife bootstrap.

Jake,

Yes, that would work and was my fallback plan.   I was just trying to be more efficient.  Also, since the last recipe removes the role from the runlist, I will now have to deal with 2 roles.

Thanks

Create a new role that overrides the attribute and includes the normal role in it's runlist.  Then assign your master node that role instead of the other.  Would that work for you?
