Describe the bug
The account I am trying to deploy into requires all stacks to have certain tags. According to the docs (https://docs.amplify.aws/javascript/tools/cli/project/tags/) before you run amplify init you can create a tags.json file in amplify/backend. When I have done this it still fails and checked in CloudTail and the tags are not being sent with the request.
Expected behavior
The tags should be added as part of the createStack call
Reproduction steps
create amplify/backend/tags.json run amplify init check cloudtrail

Hey @bfbenf, thank you for reporting this. I was able to reproduce the behaviour. Marking as bug.
Note: after running init and modifying the backend/tags.json to add a custom tag and running push, the tags are being applied to the root stack on cloudformation. Additionally, tested by adding a function which created a nested stack also contained the custom tag.
