How do I get the LastChange attribute of a memory tag in scripting? I can read the tag and get its value, but can’t get the LastChange property. I tried “.LastChange”, “.lastChanged”, and “.lastchange” but all these give me an “object has no attribute” error.

Example:  
myTimestamp = system.tag.read(TagPath)  
print myTimestamp.LastChange

If this attribute is not available from scripting, how do I find out what is and what is not available?

Add **.LastChange** to your TagPath. Remember to grab the value, as _system.tag.read()_ returns a qualified tag object. 🙂

```auto
TagPath = '[default]Test Tag.LastChange'

myTimestamp = system.tag.read(TagPath)

print myTimestamp.value

```
