Description

This applies to dynamic group views in the UI. When the group is selected, modifications like tags are only applied to one frame (I'm not sure if it's the first frame, or the current frame in view when in Render As Video mode).

I think it's more intuitive if the tag is applied to all samples in the collection.

Research direction
Investigate the dynamic group view logic in the FiftyOne UI, particularly how selection and tagging work. Look at the frontend components responsible for group selection (likely in the `fiftyone/ui` directory) and trace how tags are applied to individual frames versus all samples. Check if there's existing logic for batch operations and consider extending it to apply tags to all samples in the selected dynamic group. Review the code that handles the current behavior to understand why only one frame is affected.
