I am new to Inductive development  
I know I can use [GitHub - ignition-api/8.1: 📦 Package for the Ignition Scripting API version 8.1](https://github.com/ignition-api/8.1) for  
"From running database queries, manipulating components, to  
exporting data, scripting functions"  
And I am looking for other options for Debugging.  
In the past, I used Remote Debugging for development in Python  
[Remote Debugging with PyCharm | PyCharm Documentation](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/remote-debugging-with-product.html)  
Is this a possible option for Ignition?

If you are new to Ignition, you should be sticking to the designer UI and built-in script editor. In spite of the warts. There are nuances to using those external tools that are almost impossible to explain and will have you despairing.
