# Scripts - Background support

# Script Debugger Scripts - Background
support {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
The Scripts - Background module does not support setting breakpoints directly in the
script field. You can however, set breakpoints in the script objects called or triggered by the
Scripts - Background module.  
While running arbitrary JavaScript code in the Scripts - Background module, the Script Debugger can only pause scripts when you:

* Call a script include containing breakpoints.
* Trigger a business rule containing breakpoints.
* Trigger a script action containing breakpoints.
