Question about the category/tag assignment to external_source items in blog

[stvlange]

I was curious if there is a way to auto-assign categories or tags to blog posts that are auto-generated from external_sources entries. I tried adding categories but it didn't have an effect. Any help is appreciated!

`
external_sources:

• name: Stories by Stephen Lange on Medium
  rss_url: https://medium.com/@Stephen.Lange/feed
  category: external-source
• name: Hackermoon
  posts:
  • url: https://hackernoon.com/strategies-for-combating-cloud-security-risks-vviq35e9
    published_date: 2021-06-23
    category: external-source

Currently this is not supported, but it could be a nice addition.
