I have a tag with a custom property defined. How do I access the tag’s custom property via scripting? For instance, I have a tag called Output with the custom tag enableLogging. How would I access this property in a script, say a value change script? tag.enableLogging.value? If so, custom property names are allowed to have spaces, how would this work with spaces?

system.tag.readBlocking(['path/to/tag.propertyName']). You probably shouldn’t name them with spaces if you need to read them from scripting, though.

That’s what I figured. So, from the tag event script value changed scope, I should be able to use tag.propertyName.value, correct? or, just tag.propertyName? def valueChanged(tag, tagPath, previousValue, currentValue, initialChange, missedEvents): """ Fired whenever the current value changes in value or quality. Arguments: tag: The source tag object. A read-only wrapper for obtaining tag properties. tagPath: The full path to the tag (String) previousValue: The previous value. This is a "qualified value", so it has value, quality, and timestamp properties. currentValue: The current value. This is a "qualified value", so it has value, quality, and timestamp properties. initialChange: A boolean flag indicating whether this event is due to the first execution or initial subscription. missedEvents: A flag indicating that some events have been skipped due to event overflow. """

Where would errors/messages from this script be visible?

You should see them in the tag diagnostics (an icon in the top right corner if you’re on 8.1.17+): [image] But with two properties I was able to read them directly off the tag object in the event script: [image] [image] [image]

Thanks. I was also able to find it on the gateway here: [image] Is there an easy way to get rid of the nuisance The statement did not return a result set SQL error (when using system.db.runNamedQuery())?

Switch your query type to Update?
