I am trying to create a Dataset tag in a the following location a tag change event[default]Test\_Practice/MyDataSet. I want the folder and Dataset tag with headings to be created if it doesn't already exist. I also want a new row to be always populated in the dataset whenever the tag change script is fired, as i will always be reading from specific tags to populate a new row. Can I please get help or suggestions on this?

That sounds like a job better suited to a database unless you need very fast action and a limited set of data.
