Description

>**Note**: If your question is regarding the AWS Amplify Console service, please log it in the
[official AWS Amplify Console forum](https://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=314&start=0)

**Which Category is your question related to?**

API

**Amplify CLI Version**

You can use `amplify -v` to check the amplify cli version on your system

4.44.2

**What AWS Services are you utilising?**

AWS AppSync, DynamoDB

**Provide additional details e.g. code snippets**

I am aware that we can tag resources created by Amplify using the tags file [here](https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/usage/tags). But I would like to add tags only to specific resources, namely DynamoDB.

Our use case is that we have automatic backups setup if we tag our resource with `backup : daily`. The issue here is that the DynamoDB resource does not go into version control so adding the tag to the CloudFormation resource directly wouldn't be suitable.

How can I add the tag `backup : daily` when using the API category with a GraphQL API that makes use of the [@model](https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/graphql-transformer/model#model) directive?
