Some of them unfixable in v8.1 and older.

I got it. Thanks. Just a question : if i have many different projects on the same that each does different specific jobs, can i have multiple gateway scripting ? Because the Gateway Settings seems only allow to select one gateway scripting from the drop down.

your INTERVAL = long.path.to.your.script.interval seems working 😀

You can only have one Gateway Scripting Project. If you need that for multiple projects then you’ll need to organize the scripts accordingly.

The other question you should be asking is if you actually need a valueChange script on the tag itself. There are limitations and that mechanism is not the best tool for all tag change scripts.

For instance, a Gateway Tag Change script can access the project library of its own project since it is a project resource.

I used my Leader power to move this obvious misattribution. (You could have, too....)

I could have (and I have by accident before 😬 ) but... 🤷 Can't learn without experience, or something like that

Indeed. Which is why I add comments to Leader actions.
