Client Event Scripts in Igntion Edge with Compute Module

I have an igntion Edge with Compute module. V8.1.22 application I'm working on.
I am trying to understand the behavior of the Client Event scripting in the Edge products. I have a tag change script that ideally should be run on the client but I am unable to make this work. However, the same script runs OK as a gateway event script. I have used both gateway and client event scripts successfully in the full version of Ignition. This is my first foray into the Edge products.

Is this normal behavior for the edge products?
