### Details

Hi!

When I want to import existing resources into a stack via the UI, I can't specify tags. The CLI allows me to do that.

We are enforcing tagging via an SCP so that every create-change-set request needs tags. So I basically can't use the UI to import resources. I have to use the CLI instead, which can become a bit tedious...

Please add tagging support. Ideally pre-load the existing tags from the stack.

Cheers
Ruwen

Research direction

Start by comparing the CloudFormation Console's stack resource import flow with the CLI import path, focusing on how tags are supplied and how existing stack tags could be loaded. Done means the UI accepts tags for imports and, ideally, pre-loads the stack's existing tags so imports work under the stated tagging policy.
