What does “hidden-link:” mean in Azure Resource Manager Tags

Question

I exported an Azure Resource Manager JSON template from my resource group on Azure. I see a bunch of tags in the generated file like:

\"tags\": {
    \"hidde         


        

Answer 1

These tags are used to associate related resources. They are used to populate the Linked Resources section. Removing the tags will prevent resources from displaying as Linked Resources but will not impact any functionality.
