When i moved my script to the regular folder, it worked.

Hello Yvan and welcome back.
The magical header has been described in the webinar at minute 26:54:

Thank you.

OK, for this header to work you need to tell EASE where to look for scripts. You can have a look at the documentation here, and more specifically the paragraph setting the preferences. After that, EASE will scan the folder and contribute menus:

  • Select the Window > Preferences menu
    • select the Scripting / Script Locations
      • add the folder by clicking the Add Workspace button
