> At one time you could pass `--tag` to [try syntax](https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/TryChooser#What_if_I_want_to_run_a_sub-set_of_tests_for_a_job.3F), however that [appears broken now](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336606).

Yes, we should get this working again. In the meantime...

I just recently landed in-tree presets:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/tools/try/presets.html#editing-and-sharing-presets

This means you can add a preset to [tools/tryselect/try_presets.yml](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/tools/tryselect/try_presets.yml) and it will be available to everyone with:

    $ ./mach try --preset <name>

There are still a couple of follow-up series in the process of landing to make these work a bit better, so I haven't advertised them yet, but feel free to go ahead and add one.

Note: I strongly recommend creating presets with |mach try fuzzy|, even if you use |mach try syntax| locally. Not only because I prefer fuzzy, but because:

A) It is well structured
B) It is more powerful
C) People will be able to post-filter the preset selection (once bug 1531360 lands)

If you aren't familiar with fuzzy, please ping me and I can help you craft a preset.

D) You can select tasks much more granularly
