Maybe use [system.util.audit](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-util/system-util-audit) to manually log the write to the audit db.

Is there anything I need to set up in Audit?

In Vision I see:

It can log it in Audit.

Looks like everything is set up normally, should be able to just use the function.

`system.tag.write` is deprecated and kept around for backwards compatibility. (For updating from V7.x to 8.x) You should only use `system.tag.writeBlocking`, even with single tag writes. I bet the older function is missing something that ties it into the audit system but IA would have to confirm.

Perspective scripts run on the gateway. Did you set the Audit profile there?

Security -\> General -\> Gateway Audit Profile

EDIT: nvm, I don't think that captures it.
