Force Build on Specific Tag?
I am attempting to force a build after an external workflow has completed.
In regards to this question:
https://help.appveyor.com/discussions/questions/44161-are-filters-ignored-on-manually-triggered-builds
It would seem filters are ignored when this API call is invoked.
However, it would seem that the `branches.only` field _is_ respected, as I have configured the build definition to use separate configurations via the `for:` keyword, and the `master` branch selection is being built, as defined here:
However, naturally, this is not what I want. xD
This forced build is to simulate a tagged build, but there is no `tag` field in the api call. Is there a way to trigger a forced build with a specific tag?
FWIW, I am wanting to select this configuration:

Looks like setting both the branch and commitID as the tag name will check out the branch as the tag:
```
$body = @{
accountName = $env:DEPLOY_ACCOUNT
projectSlug = $env:DEPLOY_SLUG
branch = $tagName
commitId = $tagName
}
```
However, the response still denotes that it is not in a tagged context:
```
buildId : 29158162
version : 9.0.11.0
branch : 9.0.11
...
isTag : False
```
I am able to select the branch now. However, it would be nice to know if there is a way to fully simulate a "tagged" build when manually forcing it.

You can introduce some environment variable into new build API request, saying it's tag build.

Alright. I was hoping/looking for something more official, but it sounds like there isn't... what we have will do, however, so no biggie.
