setting up a tag event on the tag

Or even better, set up a tag change event in the gateway event scripts of a project.

Old rant here:

Error Running Project Script: "project not defined"

When scripting across many tags, each gets its own copy of the code. To minimize per-tag code for maintainability, you must move it a shared script. But editing or adding a shared script restarts all gateway scripts across all projects, and causes every client to at least show an update (if not auto-updating). This is astonishingly disruptive. Shared scripts should be locked down to just the most common, best tested code, and placed under some kind of change management. Gateway tag change …

Note that Ignition v8's global scripting project has addressed one of the downsides of tag events. I still strongly recommend gateway tag change events over any of the tag events.
