**Ignition 8.0.16-RC1**  
I have a gateway with **perspective** and **vision** module installed.

I’ve create a module with some script functions exposed in the gateway scope.  
This module depends from perspective module.

```auto
<depends>
	<depend>
		<scope>G</scope>
		<moduleId>com.inductiveautomation.perspective</moduleId>
	</depend>
	<depend>
		<scope>D</scope>
		<moduleId>com.inductiveautomation.perspective</moduleId>
	</depend>
</depends>

<hooks>
	<hook>
		<scope>G</scope>
		<hookClass>com.bouyguesenergiesservices.ignition.gateway.utilsperspective.GatewayHook</hookClass>
	</hook>
</hooks>

```

Thoses scripts functions are available in Action Script for perspective components with autocompletion.

**Nevertheless, those scripts functions are not available in the script project library with autocompletion.**

In my perspective module I don’t have a designer scope. It’s seems not necessary for exposing gateway script function for perspective components.  
It’s seems to be a bug.

**I have the same issue with IA built-in script functions**  
IA script function **system.perspective.** \* are not available **for autocompletion** in the project script library, but those fonction are available **for autocompletion** in the perspective component action script

**perspective component action script**

Yes, this is a bug. The script library always gives you scripting hints for the local scope. I filed a ticket a while back to add a selector, so you can choose (while in the scripting area) which scope’s autocompletion you want.

IMO, project scripts library need to show hints for all scope: gateway scope, vision scope and “gateway/perspective” scope.  
Of course a selector will be the icing on the cake.

No progress to report yet, but yes, this is still something we’d like to add as part of a general script editing experience refinement.
