@paul-griffith  
When migrationg from 7.9.11 to Ignition 8.0.3-nightly  
the tag **[System]Client/System/EditCount** doesn’t exist in 8.0.3.  
is it intentional or a bug ?

The concept of edit count no longer exists in 8.0.

In the client scope we was using a tagChange script on **editCount** tag to detect project update and perform some traits on our side.  
How can we reproduce this in 8.0 ?

I’m not sure there’s a way to detect changes right now, we may have to implement something.

Adding the “LastProjectUpdate” tag as @JordanCClark suggested was the resolution for this ticket.
