 From [ticket:22343#comment:51]:
 > This can have usability implications when switching a circuit for saving
 would prevent access to the resource.

 I believe the same thing is applicable here. Adding keyword.

 Also defining a parent relation, since I believe that helps these get
 resolved together.
 (Please lmk if that is against the tbb workflow!)
