@Kevin.Herron, I think I encounter a similar issue:  
**Ignition 8.0.5**  
Gateway Scripting Project set to “global”  
I’ve create a new **tag expression** with a runscript.

```auto
runscript("shared.tag.alarm.test",0)

```

in the global project:

```auto
def shared.tag.alarm.test()
  import shared.tag.util
  return 0

```

Expression return :

```auto
[null, Error_ExpressionEval("Error executing script for runScript() expression:shared.tag.alarm.test"), Thu Oct 17 17:04:44 CEST 2019 (1571324684504)]

```

if I supprim the import, tag expression is OK:

```auto
def shared.tag.alarm.test()
  return 0

```

The same expression with the import inside the shared.tag.alarm.test, works with no issue in 7.9
