        Info
        When Objects based on type and tags is selected, the determination of which object instances are included in the task is made at the time of each execution of the task. So, for example, if the specified Tag was assigned to 5 Sources at the time of the initial run and was then assigned to two additional Sources prior to the second run, then the second run of the task will apply to all 7 Sources.
