ERROR: tag(s) not found in playbook: play2. possible values:

Hi,

In some devel version of 1.8 I was able to run this play with no problem.
Now I am unable to do it this way due to the changes.
Since most of our plays are built this way… is there a way to call playbooks within playbooks with a tag?
If not, what would the best way to fix this problem?

I think this functionality has been moved to roles. You can call roles with tags and I think also call dependency roles with tags.
