Are webhook tag triggers able to utilize a hidden tag? I know this bug existed with automations (and was fixed), but I’m running into a similar problem while modifying the trigger of a webhook.

It worked fine when I used a public tag, but now that I’m selecting a tag only visible to specific groups, it isn’t being saved. It populates in the available fields, but upon revisiting the field will be empty.

To repeat:

1. Create a webhook
2. Set a private tag as a trigger tag and save
3. Edit the webhook
4. The trigger tag field is empty
