Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0
Steps to reproduce:
I tried to clear all the data about test.domain.tld
I have 100+ other dev instances on the other subdomains
test2.domain.tld
other.domain.tld
...etc
Actual results:
After i executed this function for single subdomain test.domain.tld i've lost all the passwords stored for other subdomains in domain.tld
Expected results:
Passwords should left untouched for other sites. Because other subdomains is other sites.
What should i do now? Looks like VERY BAD JOKE.

I am sorry to hear that you lost data.
Forget about this site will remove data per domain, that is why you see data being removed for all subdomains. This is also mentioned in the dialog that pops up where you have to confirm the clearing.
You can read more here
It is nor ideal that we clear passwords when using Forget about this site, there already is a bug for that issue here, but again, we do mention in the popup that we are going to clear passwords for the entire domain.
Do give you a suggestion for a workaround, I need more insight on what your use case is, what kind of data do you want to clear?
But, more general, you could clear storage for a subdomain via the dev tools.

Why this function called Forget about this SITE? Site is not a domain, it's a single application placed on domain, subdomain, ip, etc... I have no idea how parent domain and other subdomains linked to this.
