Is that really the entirety of your script, or are you trying to simplify for the sake of the forum?

Try event.newValue:

```auto
value = event.newValue
```

An if statement follows depending on valve the variable ‘value’ holds  
that part of the script is working ok because if I set value to a constant it operates as expected.  
Its the mapping of the change of number of tag to value that isn’t working
