Is it possible to override the script attached to a tag that's part of a UDT? We have a UDT that's attached to a couple of hundred tags but we have one tag instance that we want to function a bit differently than the others. I thought that, once upon a time, it was a matter of checking or unchecking a box but I'm not seeing any way to do it now. Thanks in advance! ---

Click the little circle, it turns green when overrode. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/d/2db6d39fb168b962a59e4d1fc0c7177610cc5a0b.png) ---

So simple and so not very obvious. Thanks! ---

You don't even have to click it--it should change to overridden when you edit that instance's script. ---

Not for me, it's greyed out until overridden. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/8/88e2ecf16b459120fc9fd76547c752d291eb86fb.png) ---

Huh. I wonder when that changed. (Or maybe I misremembered. I might be getting old. 🙄 ) ---

The gray script box is what I was seeing too. Thanks for all of your help everyone!
