Hello, is it possible to configure the Gateway Scripting Project so that scripts in the project library of multiple projects can be accessed? I want to add new functionalities to our global project. For this, I made a copy of the global project and I am using that for testing. I have some shared scripts in the copy- project that should be run when the value of a specific tag changes. How can I achieve this without changing the gateway scripting project? ---

I would take a gateway backup of your production gateway and restore it to another install of Ignition to use as a test gateway. You can use a trial version for this without any extra cost. Make and test your changes there then push it to production. ---

You cannot. The only other projects that can be included with the gateway scripting project are the projects it inherits from. ---

Is there no risks that the changes made in the test gateway affect the production gateway? ---

Not as long as you have a test database as well. I have a separate db for my test gateway, and use a DNS name in the connection, so I don't have to change my DB connections when restoring a backup. You can see more on that [here](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-architecture-question-dev-to-prod/70182/10) You may want to change your device connections to simulated ones as well, such as [Programmable Device Simulator - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation (inductiveautomation.com)](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Programmable+Device+Simulator) ---
