I’m trying to do it by toggling 4 different bits with “onMouseDown” & “onMouseUp” event scripts. **These are the Tag Paths** (Copied & Pasted from each individual tag) - [default]CCP61/CCP61\_stop - [default]CCP62/CCP62\_stop - [default]CCP63/CCP63\_stop - [default]CCP71/CCP71\_stop I have tried this: ⬇, Adding a separate script for each tag but I keep getting the red squiggly underline and a "no viable alternative at input ‘CCP61’ " message when I hover the cursor over the text. ![Screenshot 2022-01-20 113946](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/1/919c81e9082093b36887607f036774b68fc457b8.jpeg) ---

Your tag adress is a string, so you need to write that line like this: ```auto system.tag.write('[default]CCP71/CCP71_stop',1) ``` You can also write all of them at the same time using **system.tag.writeAsync()** ```auto tagList = ['[default]CCP71/CCP71_stop', '[default]CCP63/CCP63_stop', '[default]CCP63/CCP63_stop', '[default]CCP61/CCP61_stop'] valuesList = [True,True,True,True] system.tag.writeAsync(tagList,valuesList) ``` So you can just provide a list of tag paths and values and do it all at once, efficiently. You can take a better look at how it works here: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.writeAsync](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.writeAsync) ---

I’ve eddited on my response, but since you’re toggling bits, you can’t write `"1"` to them, since you’re indicating that that 1 is actually a string, the correct way would be to just use **1** or **True** ---

So for now I used a separate script for each tag using **system.tag.write()**. I couldn’t get **system.tag.writeAsync()** to work. Thank You ---

Just so you know, `system.tag.write` is now deprecated. `system.tag.writeBlocking` or `system.tag.writeAsync` should be used. ---

Just fyi this only applies to v8+ and not to v7 ~~which is propably why these new functions aren't working for the OP~~ ---

Of course and useful for others to distinguish between, but screenshot is from V8 ---

Haha, that’s embarrassing, I didn’t even look at the screenshot 🙄 ---

I know this is an old thread, but I just ran across it. Honestly this should be done in the PLC and not the HMI.
