I have some Gateway events, based on tag changes that run some script code. They are calling some functions from a library that is in a project that is inherited, in case that may factor in. I am having a problem where I have some functions that seem to be running 'twice' when I get the tag change event. I have troubleshot and am not getting the OPC/plc signal twice, or multiple times. As you can see on the first screen shot, most of them are disabled. I have enabled the ones I need for testing here in production. Even when disabled, the code in the tag change event highlighted here is still running. When enabling it, then I get the results twice. I have several projects in this gateway, that are mostly vision/HMI projects, and these gateway tag event scripts exist on one of them. I have scoured all the rest of the projects, as well as for client tag events to see if I have errantly put these elsewhere in testing, and I can find nothing. Is there some other troubleshooting I can do to find where this script code might be running from, when I have the tag event scripts disabled? Thanks. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/e/1e3d1aaf7a046d26d2bf1c885973670410255a88.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/0/c01ec41b7738d4829b8222c41ec975d0ca3d3db7.png) ---

If you want to rule out inheritance _and_ check whether the script is firing twice... ```python system.util.getLogger("Gateway Script Debug").infof("Project: %s, firing event", system.project.getProjectName()) ``` Just drop that line (or something like it) at the beginning of your script. ---

one firing of the inherited function script, but still 'dual results' ---

Duh... I stumbled on it.. I have a gateway running on my dev laptop here that was hooked to our same controls network for troubleshooting, etc. It happened to be a restore of the production backup we are using here on site. Thus both gateways were running and active. I stopped the service on my laptop , disabled the service and bingo. Never thought of it until stumbling on... ---

I hope you uninstalled from your dev laptop.... That is problem likely to recur if you don't. ---

I will. I stopped and disabled the Ignition service to start to test that was it, but I'll uninstall.
