Are tag change scripts ran on the gateway scope?

I am attempting to send data to a script in the scripting project library but it seems based on the logs the tag change script does not see it.

Yes, they're gateway scoped.

Your script libraries belong to a specific project, but tags are a global resource.

Tag change event scripts can only access the scripting library in the project configured as the Gateway Scripting Project.

See [Project Library | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/scripting/scripting-in-ignition/project-library#gateway-scripting-project).

Thanks, I did not have a gateway scripting project set.
