Description

The resources will be added to External Resources item in Tree. But they will be lost when reopening the Test Suite.

Consider calling the Add Resource function when we have a single Test Suite opened. If it is a Test Suite Folder, we can add Resource to init.robot, but that would not have consequence (or would it?)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by using Add Resource with a single Test Suite, then close and reopen the suite to confirm the resource is lost. Compare that behavior with adding a resource to a Test Suite Folder and its init.robot file. Done means resources added through the Tree remain available after reopening the Test Suite.
