Problem with an event calling an event that's disabled.

[Timon]

Is it considered normal that when one event calls another event and the called event is disabled the called event is still run? That seems so not good.

I've tried this more than one way including having the calling event cave the conditions box checked hoping that at least the disabled condition would stop the called event from being called.

I agree, but that is the behavior I see as well. You could report it as a bug, but it's probably more productive to just adjust you expectations.

It is the normal behavior for a disabled Event to only disable its own internal triggers. If you want to stop an Event from being called from another Event, change "Then" to "Never" on the Action calling the second Event.

I never noticed you could change THEN TO NEVER. I'd rather do it on the receiving Event but I can live with it this way. Thanks

I will say that I'd like to see an ELSE as well but that's totally different thread.

I'd also love to be able to insert a THEN between two THENs or at the top of the first THEN. Why, I can't tell you how many times I needed to add a WAIT to serialize the flow after I had several THENs already in place.

You should be able to drag-and-drop any "action" statement wherever you want it to change the order of "actions.

You can. Just drag them into the order you want.

[Timon]

I don't believe this, never saw that either and I've got several hundred events.

Most of the time I see a universal triple bar that show you can dragged but it's not universal.

It looks like if it's a greenish bar you can drag but a blueish bar you can't. I'll keep that in mind.

Yes, the greenish bars are the Actions or Thens!
