I have many manual events that are run by other events. I have not found a way to track back to the primary event that runs the manual event. Am I correct that this cannot be done? Thanks, Elliott

Is there a way to track a manual event back to the event that runs it?

I thought you meant during or after execution. Sounds like you're looking for more of a map or flow chart. I have no idea if that's possible.
One thing you might be able to do, if it's not too much manual work for your set up, is manually list the triggering events in the 'Notes' section of the manual event (located next to 'Event Name:' ). Of course, if you have lots of events and change them a lot, it might be hard to keep up with the list(s).

You can be very careful in putting keys in the calling and called event names for filtering in the log. I have used a short character string at the end of event names for the purpose of diagnosis, then filter the log on that string and get only the events (both called and calling) to see when they ran.
Finally you can put writelog immediate script actions in both events and filter on that. I use a logtype of “Trace” so I can filter the log on Trace entries.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.16 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon
