How to get an actor's position by tag?

Include context on what you are trying to achieve

I'm trying to get an actor's position through Python API simGetObjectPose in UE 4.27, it works when I pass the actor's ID Name, but I get nan returns when passing the actor's tag.

Context details

OS: Windows 11; AirSim Version: 1.8.1; Python Version: 3.8; Unreal version: 4.27.
settings.json:

{
  "SeeDocsAt": "https://github.com/Microsoft/AirSim/blob/master/docs/settings.md",
  "SettingsVersion": 1.2,
  "SimMode": "Multirotor",
  "ViewMode": "",
  "ClockSpeed": 1,
  "SubWindows": [
    {"WindowID": 0, "CameraID": 0, "ImageType": 0, "Visible": true},
    {"WindowID": 1, "CameraID": 0, "ImageType": 3, "Visible": false},
    {"WindowID": 2, "CameraID": 0, "ImageType": 3, "Visible": true}
    ],
  "CameraDefaults": {
    "CaptureSettings": [
      {
        "ImageType": 3,
        "Width": 100,
        "Height": 80,
        "FOV_Degrees": 90,
        "AutoExposureSpeed": 100,
        "AutoExposureBias": 0,
        "AutoExposureMaxBrightness": 0.64,
        "AutoExposureMinBrightness": 0.03,
        "MotionBlurAmount": 0,
        "TargetGamma": 1.0,
        "ProjectionMode": "",
        "OrthoWidth": 5.12
      },
      {
        "ImageType": 0,
        "Width": 256,
        "Height": 144,
        "FOV_Degrees": 90,
        "AutoExposureSpeed": 100,
        "AutoExposureBias": 0,
        "AutoExposureMaxBrightness": 0.64,
        "AutoExposureMinBrightness": 0.03,
        "MotionBlurAmount": 0,
        "TargetGamma": 1.0,
        "ProjectionMode": "",
        "OrthoWidth": 5.12
      }
    ]
  }
}

Below is the specific method I used to add tags to the actor and call the simGetObjectPose API.

obj_pose = client.simGetObjectPose("Target")
pos = obj_pose.position  # always get 'nan'

I tried the solution discussed in #2582, but it didn't work for me.

No, I just use actors' ID Name, it works for me.
