Hello,
It seems not possible to add tags to closed tickets, even though the option to edit tickets is enabled in admin center and I can already edit closed tickets in agent workspace and API.
Here is what the logs show:

}
}Update: as a workaround I used custom actions instead which overcomes this error. Please look into the limitations of native ticket actions (both update ticket and add tags) with respect to closed tickets.
