I know we can do this within Script Modules, but can we do this for Event Scripts? ---

Unfortunately, no you cannot import/export event scripts. You would have to copy/paste right now. ---

Is this still the case? Any possibility of getting some import/export functionality developed? ---

I don’t think anything has changed in the UI, but in 8.x they are all split apart on the filesystem now, which is at least a little better. edit: err, script modules are, gateway events are still in a blob resource. ---

Thanks Kevin, Damn I’m interested in Gateway and Client event scripts at the moment (tag change, timer). That’s fine, its just a bit of a copy/paste exercise. Shouldn’t take that long. I just try to avoid such tasks if i can help it! Cheers ---

We’re hoping to split these into true separate resources (also human-readable on disk) _and_ improve the UI in 8.2. ---

I’ve been copying and pasting for so long I don’t know if I can do it another way. 😉 ---

Is this slated to be in 8.3 now? ---

I guess you are on a version newer than 8.1.41? Is this 8.3 or just later 8.1? My 8.1.41 does not have this. Either way looks good! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/1/a1c32e084ca1e717115f974621978f8cdeae86de.png) ---

Yeah, that's from 8.3.
