The the Gateway Event Scripts editor window there are tabs along the side for "Startup’, ‘Shutdown’, "Timer’, etc…  
I would like to add another group, e.g. ‘My Module Scripts’, where the user can define scripts that would be called by my module.

I’ve created a class that extends `AbstractMultiScriptEditor`, but not sure what to do with it.

Looking through the api for the Designer Module Hook I found the following for ClientScriptConfig, but I’m after the global/gateway event script config.

```auto
VisionDesignerInterface visionDesigner = (VisionDesignerInterface) context.getModule(VisionDesignerInterface.VISION_MODULE_ID);
visionDesigner.getWorkspace().getRoot().setScriptConfig(new ClientScriptConfig(), true);

```

Anyone have any ideas?

I don’t think you can, but I’d be delighted to be corrected. Consider implementing your own workspace.

It doesn’t look like this area is extensible through the API, no - the list of panels to display is hardcoded, and there’s no good way to access it externally.

Could be good for the [ideas](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/) portal, though.

You can always make your own panel that is similar to the one Ignition uses, and expose that editor in the tree.
