Description
Designs
Spec
- Tags applied to blocks within a library should remain associated with that block when reused in courses
- Tags applied from a library are not editable and display a small lock icon in place of the remove icon while in the edit flow
- On hover over the lock icon, a tooltip should appear with the text: "Tags applied within a library cannot be removed"
- Tags can be applied to reused blocks within courses. These tags are not shown on the upstream block in the library
- Tag counts on blocks downstream should reflect total tags: library applied + course applied
- Tag counts on upstream blocks should reflect library applied tags only
- Tag counts that appear in the downstream component's sidebar should also reflect the sum of all tags (ie: in taxonomy ABC, tag 1 and 2 were applied within the library, tag 3 was applied in a course. Tag count should show 3 next to the tag icon in-line with the taxonomy header
