Best way to auto-tag torrents?

I recently set up radarr and sonarr and I noticed that in Qbittorrent, it automatically adds the label/tag/category of 'radarr' or 'tv-sonarr'. (The terminology of label, tag, category changes based on how you're accessing it. It's confusing and makes this hard for me to search). I'd like to auto-tag/label/categorize by indexer because different indexers have different seeding criteria. What is the best way to auto-tag? Is it through radarr and sonarr or through qbittorrent? And where are the settings to control that? Or do I need a plugin or something?

Edit: I asked this in the Radarr Discord and they told me that you cant use Radarr to do this. They suggested setting up qbit_manage to do it.

Hasn't qBittorrent got an indexer column? I'm not home to check, but I'm sure I've got that set up
- I just checked. There is a column you can choose to show called "tracker" but it shows weird stuff. Some of the torrents list torrentleach.org but a lot of them are stackoverflow (strangely) or random urls I don't recognize: jumbohostpro.eu, bgp.technology, empirehost.me... Etc
  
  All those latter files are probably from public trackers since they're showing random URLs. I do like the other person suggested and just sort by tracker within the sonarr/radarr categories. If you don't use those categories, sonarr and radarr won't be able to find them in qbit. What I've also done is to create additional categories for each of my private trackers and then I just move the files over to those categories once they've been imported in my libraries, so I can seed them for as long as I like.
  You might look into Prowlarr as you can set seed requirements on an individual basis for each tracker you use and it makes adding/removing trackers from the other *arr apps very easy.

Iirc you can add tags to specific trackers in prowlarr (i think sonarr and radarr too, but im not sure) and they might do what you need. But you can also set seedtime/minimum ratio per tracker in prowlarr, thats what i do
- I don't see an option for it in Prowlarr. Well, there is a section called "tags" when I edit an indexer, but it has a warning "tags should be use with caution they can have unintended effects. An indexer with a tag will only sync to apps with the same tag" which makes me think it's not the kind of "tag" I'm talking about.
  If you know how to do it in Prowlarr, can you take a screenshot for me?
  
  the tags section is what i was referring to, i remember seeing it when i set up my indexers and assumed it was able to do that. after playing around with it, i dont think its what you are looking for
