As far as I can tell, you didn't provide the context of the old conversation. The steps you've attempted and the context where you're trying those steps are not clear to me. The comments that follow are my guesses of things that might help you.
If you're using Jenkins Pipeline and want to checkout a tag in your parameterized job, you must use the 'checkout scm' step <https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/workflow-scm-step/> rather than the 'git' step <https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/git/>. The Pipeline snippet generator <http://jenkins.io/redirect/pipeline-snippet-generator> will help you generate the correct syntax for your desired checkout. There is a brief video <https://youtu.be/ai1kf4ihZUo> included in the git plugin documentation <https://plugins.jenkins.io/git/#pipelines> that shows how to use the Pipeline snippet generator. The git step documentation <https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/git/> warns that 'checkout' is the preferred step and that tag checkout is not supported with the git step. If you're using a Freestyle job, then you may need to check that you're fetching the tags and that the tag parameter you're providing is being placed in the "Branch to build" as a variable to be expanded.
