Is there any specific reason for depreciating system.tag.storeTagHistory(). Any alternatives for this function.

The deprecation was basically a mistake. It’s not going to be removed (basically none of our “deprecated” functions ever are, for backwards compatibility) - consider it safe to use.

So, in one of the next 8.1 release, this function will come back in help documentation and script autocompletion ?

Yes, most likely the original function will be returned to regular status.
