We need to update the documentation for Tags to clearly explain how tags behave at both the suite level and the test level.

Problem
There is a common misunderstanding among users regarding tag behavior.
Typical scenario:
- A test has a specific tag.
- The user removes the tag from an individual test and saves changes.
- However, the tag is still displayed.
- The reason: the tag is applied at the suite level, so it is inherited by all tests inside the suite.
Users often do not realize that removing a tag from a single test is not enough if the tag is assigned to the parent suite.
Required Documentation Improvements
The documentation should clearly explain:
-
Tag inheritance logic
- Tags applied to a suite are automatically inherited by all tests inside that suite.
- If a tag exists on the suite, removing it from a single test will not remove it completely.
-
How to properly remove a tag from a single test
-
Bulk tag management
- Clarify that users can use multi-select to add tags in bulk instead of editing tests one by one.
- To do so they need to switch to multiselect tests mode
