The script I have works on the allow operator control on a dropdown box but will not work on a global script triggered by a scheduled task. Code that works in allow operator control : let tag1 = Tags("@UserName"); let tagValue1 = tag1.Read(); let tag2 = Tags("UserID"); var value; if (tagValue1 == "consarceng"){ value = true ; } else { value = false ; } return value; Code that doesnt work in global script: let tag1 = Tags("@UserName"); let tagValue1 = tag1.Read(); let tag2 = Tags("UserID"); if (tageValue1 == "consarceng") { tag2.Write(1); } else { tag2.Write(0); } Please see attached both scripts, the one on the left is the one that works and the right doesnt. Any advice would be greatly apricated. Attachment Screenshot 2024-02-12 200516.png (288 Downloads)

Also, the @UserName system tag is not accessible in this scope. So this is probably why your script is not working. Kind regards Stefan
