Would be very interesting if Ignition show a “help” with the available functions while you are developing a scripting (for example: like in an excel´s macro).

And very useful if your own functions written in “script module” appears in this “help” too

I´ve attached 2 images to the post as example

In case it isn’t clear, Ignition already has this functionality.

Kyle describes how to get the list of available modules and functions. In a script, after typing “system.” hold down the control buton and press the space button.
