Rename the Custom tag 1 (2 and 3)


Resources -> Block Storage Systems -> Select a Storage ->View Properties is showing the fields:

Custom Tag 1

Custom Tag 2

Custom Tag 3


Resources -> Pools -> Select a Pool -> View Properties is also showing the fields named:

Custom Tag 1

Custom Tag 2

Custom Tag 3


These fields (Custom Tag x) are also existing for switches/fabrics (and I assume for File and Object Storage as well)

There is no links between these Custom Tag. To avoid confusion, it would be great that the respective Custom Tag fields are renamed to include the resource.

i.e. for the Pools, the default name "Custom Tag 1" might be renamed as "Pool Custom Tag 1", etc...
