  • add a new link with the url https://example.com

Research direction
The bug is that new tags or lists vanish after a validation failure when creating/editing a link. The root cause is likely in the TagsSelect component at resources/assets/js/components/TagsSelect.js, line 52, where state might be reset. Investigate how the component manages local state during form submission and ensure new entries persist after failed validation. Look for any existing tests for the component to understand expected behavior.
