Look I got to that answer after following your link on my actual question: > [@Call project script from tag change](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/call-project-script-from-tag-change/12086/3): > > Hello, I have the same error, and by putting the script in the Client Event Script of a Tag Change variety it start to work perfectly. The thing is that I want the script to run always, even if the client is not open. Calling the script from the Client Event Script would only run the script when the client is open, is that correct? Why did I come to this thread on tangentially related problem, probably self haltered /sigh. That 8 and 8.1 are materially different is a very, let's just say, Rockwell-like-move! /rage Here is the closest link to what people will need in the 8.1 doc's: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Project+Library](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Project+Library) scroll to bottom of page get same incomplete instruction from 8.0 doc's and then use the screen shot from my gateway to actually find what you want. I'm just trying to help the next guy not start a flame war, but I've probably failed at both of those things...
