`create(parent, body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Creates a tag and assigns it to: * An Entry if the method name is `projects.locations.entryGroups.entries.tags.create`. * Or EntryGroupif the method name is `projects.locations.entryGroups.tags.create`. Note: The project identified by the `parent` parameter for the [tag] (https://cloud.google.com/data-catalog/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.entryGroups.entries.tags/create#path-parameters) and the [tag template] (https://cloud.google.com/data-catalog/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.tagTemplates/create#path-parameters) used to create the tag must be in the same organization.
