I am looking to automatically store an annotation through tag script on value change, but I am not having success. Currently I am just using a Boolean value to test the script out.

When I perform the scripting through the script console it does place the annotation in the annotation table.

Any advice on how to get this to work with value change.

I think I answered my own question. It looks like in Tag Scripting it needed to be indented while script console did not.

Yes. the colon at the end of the `def` line is a clue to the start of a section. An outdent back to column 0 signals the end of the function and Python requires at least one line inside a function.
