Hello there,

Here’s my problem: I can’t use overriden ressources with tags.  
Let me give an example:  
I make a script in the parent project:

```python
def testFunc():
    return "Parent project"

```

Then override it in child project:

```python
def testFunc():
    return "Child project"

```

Now, in the child project, if I make a gateway even timer script:

```python
print Shared.test.testFunc()

```

It will print `"Child project"` to wrapper.log

But if create an expression tag and give it `runScript("Shared.test.testFunc")`, its value is `Parent project`

I understand there are scopes and all, but how can I make a tag use project-specific ressources ?  
Besides being an annoying behavior, it took me quite a while to understand why my tags values were `null`… And editing a global project for project-specific things feels a bit itchy.

Can anyone tell me more or point me to some ressources I could read to try and understand all this better ?  
Thanks in advance to you all wonderful people !

Tags are globally defined and do not belong to a project. They can only reference project scripts if that project is designated as the Gateway Scripting Project.
