3 Defining custom uploadtags

Important: Custom tags that clash with future updates of DAM Center will be renamed to <tagname>RENAMED<GUID>.

To avoid this, always start custom tags with custom: and set systemDefined to 0.

4 Defined functions DigiZuiteLogic\UploadInformation\Bll\TagFunctions.bll.cs

If requiredTags contains uploadtags, the first tag is used as the argument source for the function, otherwise the Xpath is used as the argument source.
