 characters=>#sitetags,a
 ships=>#sitetags,a
 status=>#sitetags,a
I also checked the "New only" for tags on the standard column tab and left the custom column tab 'Type of Data' for Site Tags empty.

... For a new download though, it fails to work the same. The only information sent to the #sitetags column is the "status" (ie Completed, In-Progress, etc). The tags column works fine in both instances. If I update that new story and ask for just metadata though, the #sitetags information is filled in just like any other update.
...
Using multiple add('a') custom settings for the same column isn't something I anticipated. But it is a clever solution that almost works. And it doesn't work on new downloads because I didn't anticipate it in implementing new('n') custom column settings.

Attached is a new test version that should work as you are using it for both new downloads as well as updates.
