I have a bunch of shared scripts I used in vision I’ll need to use in perspective. The scripts in shared are greyed out and I can only open them as readonly, is this normal. We don’t have a vision license anymore as we are going perspective only, so can I just move those scripts over to the project library and call them the same way?Thx, Jake

During the upgrade, shared script were moved over to a separate project called “global”. You can edit them from that project.

Check out here for details what happened during the upgrade: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Ignition+8+Upgrade+Guide#Ignition8UpgradeGuide-ProjectInheritance&“Global”UpgradeLogic](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Ignition+8+Upgrade+Guide#Ignition8UpgradeGuide-ProjectInheritance&%E2%80%9CGlobal%E2%80%9DUpgradeLogic)
