Actually, I suspect that it started as a Tag value change script, but is being refactored as a Gateway Tag Change event.

> Hi lrose, Thank you for the input, this is my first ignition project in years so I am relearning everything as I go. Where and how to script to be the most efficient is where I am struggling the most, so your comment is very helpful. Thank you! I will try to switch it over to a Gateway Tag Change Event.

Based on previous context, that arguably you wouldn't have if you didn't know to go look.
