Hey,

I’d like to insert data into a table at 6am each day. I know transaction groups would handle this just fine, but I’d like to take away the need to manually add new assets to a transaction group. Many times this can be forgotten and am looking for a method to use within a tag UDT.

Could a on change script looking for 6am provide the insert of a tags currentValue into the database?

Sure if you’re careful, or better, a [scheduled script](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Gateway+Event+Scripts#GatewayEventScripts-GatewayScheduledScripts) if you’re on 8.1.

It doesn’t meet the “part of a tag/UDT” criteria but it’s going to be the easiest to get working.

Yeah, it appears similar to transaction groups but with more flexibility.
