Adding Beacon Topics

As can be seen below, beacon allows you to add topics that get translated directly into tags on the Helpscout backend. However, there is not a setting for this and since you have already initialized the config it cannot be added to later. Do you have any recommendations for how to add topics?

HS.beacon.config({
    color: '#cacaca',
    translation: {
      searchLabel: 'En que podemos ayudarte?',
      searchErrorLabel: 'Lo sentimos, hubo un error con tu busqueda'
    },
    topics: [
      { val: 'need-help', label: 'Need help with the product' },
      { val: 'bug', label: 'I think I found a bug'}
    ],
    attachment: true,
    instructions:'This is instructional text that goes above the form.'
  });
