I noticed that Gateway and Client Event Scripts, such as the Gateway Timer Script are using Legacy Python scoping instead of Standard Scoping. I noticed this in Ignition 7.7.1-rc1. Similar to component event scripts, can the default scoping be changed to Standard Scoping? ---

Yes, we’ll probably end up adding optional scope style selectors like we did for component event scripts in other places as well. ---

That sounds fantastic. I love the Python scripting enhancements you guys have been doing in Ignition 7.7 Thanks,
