Currently, writes to tags via system.tag.write\* are _ **not** _ captured in the audit log from Perspective clients. This goes completely against the grain, as Vision _does_ log these.

I just confirmed this and it looks like the only actions not working are those using the system.tag.write\* functions (where incidentally, these do work from Vision. Looking i the manual, it states this: Vision Scripting The following functions generate entries in the audit log if called from Vision component-based scripts, or from the Designer's Scripting Console.

I found this out the hard way as well and neglected to make a post about it. Definitely should be logged, but it also needs to capture who triggered the tag write. Not sure how that works with the button component or other component scripting. ---

Yeah… When script functions are called, the gateway knows which session has called it despite the function running on the gateway, so all of the user info is available to log. ---

It would also appear that the `system.util.audit` function only supports writing string values into the audit log and doesn’t auto-convert non-strings into strings ☹ I’ll have to convert myself ---

We have a ticket for this, I’ll add this thread to bump priority. ---
