For some more breadcrumbs; once you have a project you need to obtain an instance of the [`GlobalProps`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.50/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/project/GlobalProps.html) resource.

Consider [Ignition Extensions](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-extensions-convenience-utilities-for-advanced-users/64615) to get easier access to the local project. Note that it's no more 'supported' whether you're using Ignition Extensions or directly accessing the SDK. Do **not** contact our support department if you're doing something in here and it fails.

For my actual _recommendation_: just encode this in a project library constant or something. Is the default database going to change all that often, _really_?
