Hi,

I have a script that works in 7.9 to write a new value into the EngUnit for a tag based on a boolean value.  
When running it in 8.0 it won’t change the value for me.

A temporary fix for the issue.  
The script will run ok when the override is ticked on the engunit in the instance.

Version 8.0.4 nightly

I believe we’re looking into/tracking some related issues to this - where UDTs “allow” you to perform overrides, but don’t correctly set the override flag. Thanks for the report.

I didn’t see any tickets addressing this specific scenario, so I added one.
