custom field - edit_tag_form_fields is depricated but tag_edit_form_fields doesn't work

I need to create, retrieve, update and display a custom field in Wordpress tags. This code works for displaying the custom field, but its deprecated.

function tag_edit_form_fields ( $term ) {

?>
    <tr class="form-field">
        <th scope="row"><label for="term-colorpicker">Custom Field: </label></th>
        <td>
            <input type="custom_field" name="_custom_field" value=" <?php echo $custom_value; ?>" id="term-custom_term" />
            <p class="description">This is a custom field.</p>
        </td>
    </tr>

    <?php
 }
add_action('edit_tag_form_fields','tag_edit_form_fields');

Using the new function {$taxonomy}_edit_form_fields as tag_edit_form_fields doesn't seem to work.

While adding the tags to this stack exchange question, I added tags and the hint showed up as post_tag.

So, I tried

add_action('post_tag_edit_form_fields','tag_edit_form_fields');

and it works!
