Summary

FindCreativeObjectsWithTag(Tag:tag) has been deprecated and replaced with FindCreativeObjectsWithTag(tag_type:castable_subtype(tag), however tag_view still requires a tag instance rather than the type being passed.

This means that in order to use a tag_view and FindCreativeObjectsWithTag you need an instance of the tag and the tag type.
