Can you confirm that privileged tags are able to be added?

In our Ideas (feature request) category, we want to auto-tag all new topics with `new`—but it’s greyed out in the topic tag node.

I understand wanting to limit where the tag applies, but my upstream node for the topic I created is only triggering for Ideas categories. It’s odd that it’s trying to force this restriction but doesn’t have the ability to see where it’s being applied.

For reference, only select groups can apply this tag (I.e., admins and product management).

But even when I select that this action be performed by an admin (me), it’s still not letting me select `new`.

Side note, I would expect the system user to be able to apply this regardless.
