Hi,

In my project I have used the tag change script for some things.

Now I’m getting bugs and errors because these scripts are run for each client.

Is it possible to limit the tag change script execurion to only run once regardless of number of running clients?

Thanks

Hello,

It looks like you set your script in the “Client Event Scripts” section. Each running client will run those scripts when the tag change.

From what I understand of what you need, you should move your script in the “Gateway Event Scripts” section.
