Is it possible to get the default scripting project through the SDK?

Sure, with a `GatewayContext` you can do:

```auto
context.getSystemProperties().getGatewayScriptingProject()

```

I actually found something similar about 2 seconds before you commented this, I didnt realize there was a search bar in the java docs!

Will that reliably return the same as this?

```auto
com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.ScriptContext#defaultProject()

```

No, they aren’t the same thing. The call from ScriptContext will often be the name of the project currently executing something.
