trying to implement script for Value Changed in Tag Events. Script fails but no explanation. Tried Print to Console, but nothing shows up. Cannot find so called “wrapper log” ---

Can you post the script? Also you can right click the tag, choose diagnostics and it will show the status and any errors. ---

Well I would love to post the actual script, but I can’t even copy it out of the editor. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/e/eb4432c8710dc680eb7d733b8ccfec73c205cf0a.png) This is in a UDT. I have dumbed it down to just try to write simple values to a couple client tags. Nothing happens. The instance of the UDT is valid and the source value does change as I have components on a window tied to the tag. Diagnostic Logs in gateway shows nothing related to this. Diagnostic Console shows nothing. ---

You can’t write to tags in the `[Client]` provider from a tag event script, because tag events occur on the gateway. The `[Client]` provider is only available from within the scope of an individual client. You can probably use a [client tag change script](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Client+Event+Scripts#ClientEventScripts-GatewayEventsversusClientEvents) for the same purpose. ---

Thanks. I got to thinking that after posting and tried a test gateway tag instead and it does indeed write to that tag. Is this also why it won’t call a project script module? The gateway log says global name ‘Project’ is not defined. Is there any way to call the script from a gateway tag event? ---

Upgrade to 8.0? In 8, this isn’t a problem, because there is no special “global” project - we create an inheritable parent project that’s _called_ `global` on upgrade, but it’s a perfectly normal project that you’re free to edit and delete as appropriate - and there’s a proper inheritance model for projects, so `global` can define resources that are usable in `child` and `grandchild` and so on. But, being more practical, could you just move your script code into the ‘shared’ library?
