### 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.

### Please select what you are reporting on:

Verse

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Devices

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a castable\_subtype(tag) variable
2. Try to use tag\_view
3. Realise you can’t, and realise you can’t instantiate an instance of a class from the type…

### Expected Result

tag\_view should be updated to use castable\_subtype(tag) like other functions.

### Observed Result

tag\_view uses deprecated functionality.

### Platform(s)

Windows

### Additional Notes

Why can’t we instantiate an instance of a class from a type?
