Tag selector in event scripts

Ignition

Is it possible to have a tag selector button in the event scripts editing windows, similar to what is offered in an expression editor?
This way, when writing a script, instead of writing the tag path manually, I could select the tag and it would insert the path for me…

Thanks!

Sure, I don’t see why not. It would just generate a call to “getTagValue” for you, which is definitely something that ends up getting written a lot.

I suspect this will make its way into 7.2.

That would be great! It wouldn’t necessary need to generate the call to “getTagValue”, since I would use it for “writeToTag” and also do a lot of indirect tag paths through scripting. If the function could just give me the string path to the tag that is really all I need.
