Calcs & Events should show an error if the tag name is invalid
Normally if there is a problem in a calc/event we see the error like this:
BUT it doesn't look like tag names are checked. Below for example we have an event property for a tag but that tag doesn't exist (and isn't returned when we look at the tag list) but it doesn't throw an error. Initially we weren't getting the event backfilled and didn't understand why. I think the messages tile in Canary Admin had something in there but we had to know to check that and it still slowed down our investigation and resolution. It would be nice if the error was also shown directly in the calc/event editor like other errors are.

This may be a bug specifically when used in an aggregate function within an event property. I was able to reproduce it as well. If you remove it from the aggregate function, it does throw an error. Not sure why it prevents it from throwing in error when it is embedded though. I'll have to investigate further.

The developer did confirm this was a bug.
