Two tags in AWS Console. Tag Key name: test1 and test2. All the tag information is in test1 key but need to go to test2 key. In filter I can type tag:all then edit that tag with a different key. However with 150+ instances this would take a while. Any suggestions?

    I haven't read anything about copying tags using the console. You can do most things via scripting and the API, but it's probably quicker to just copy and paste manually.

    Yep, Tim is correct. There's nothing in the API to do this. However, at max, it's a ~10 line bash or python script to iterate through all of your instances and make the change.

I would use the Tag editor to do this activity. Of course, it's not like you wanted, moving one tag to other BUT it will provide a single interface where you can copy and paste within 10-15 minutes (lesser than writing automation script) if its just one-time activity.

Please check here how to use the Tag editor and efficient tagging information in general.
