Tags are global resources, they don’t belong to a project.

In 7.9 and prior you can only call scripts in the global namespace from a tag change script.

In 8.0+ you can only call scripts in whatever is defined as the Gateway Scripting Project from a tag change script.

If you absolutely need to do this from within a project, use a tag change gateway event in the project instead of the event script on the tag.
