Issue

When a user creates a Basic Web Content and tries to type in a Tag, the Tags option disappears and the following error is shown in the logs:
```
No JSON web service action with path /assettag/search and method null for null
```

Environment

Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

This behavior usually occurs when JSON Web Services is disabled, applying this property:
```
json.web.service.enabled=false
```
The Category and Tag selectors are consumers of the JSON Web Service, and they won't work if it is not enabled.

If you want to limit the access to JSON Web Services as much as possible without losing OOTB functionalities, we would suggest the following configuration:

json.web.service.enabled=true
jsonws.web.service.api.discoverable=false

jsonws.web.service.paths.includes=/assetcategory/search,/assettag/search,/country/get-countries,/region/get-regions
