If you are using the -Namespace in the define_tag then don't use "_" (underscrore) character in the tag name. Because when you call the custom tag in your program, Lasso always considers the string upto the last "_" character as the namespace of the custom tag and the string after the last "_"character as the Tag Name.
If the string after the last "_"character doesn't matches the Tag Name defined in [Define_tag] and the string before last "_" character doesn't matches the string provided in the "-Namespace" option in Define_Tag and , it returns an error that the "No tag, type or constant was defined under the name lsd_string_toduration".
In your case "lsd_string" is considered as namespace of the tag but it finds only "lsd" as the namespace. Thus it finds no tag defined for the name "lsd_string_toduration". If in the define_tag the tag name will be "ToDuration" and -Namespace="LSD_String", then lsd_string_toduration('help'); statement will be executed successfully.

Ok, can someone explain to me why this is failing? I get an error
saying no tag, type, or constant defined with the name
lsd_string_toduration!
============================================================
[
define_tag('String_ToDuration', -namespace='LSD', -required='a_string');
return #a_string;
/define_tag;
lsd_string_toduration('help');
