onClick_toolNew missing as a target in a trigger event

jstoner · February 12, 2026, 3:48pm

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I cannot use the onClick_toolNew as a target for my trigger in an event, as I cannot see it within my custom layer.

I can see the event fires in DevTools.

While I’m at it, i cant see the onClick_toolSave event either.

They’re both there in the base layer.

This is a custom app using the UD05 table.

Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks,
James

There is probably already an after event. Look for After_onClick_toolNew and put an after event on that.

Hi @aosemwengie1

Thanks for the suggestion, however there is no After_ event either.

Thanks,

What application are you in?

Its a custom app using UD05.

Kinetic version 2025.2.10

Thanks,

You must have already added an after event because this shows up in UD05 when starting fresh. Go in your actual list of events and do a search for custom events. If it still doesn’t show up, close everything and log back in again.

Only got these in User Defined events for “After”

Use the application shell filters to see all your user defined events like in my screenshot.

@aosemwengie1 is correct.

… I just wanted to chime in that the event name doesn’t need to include “after” or “toolnew” or anything of that ilk.

Somebody could have created an event called “MyMagicSchoolBus”… and set the trigger to after onclick_toolNew.

You can only use those triggers once, and that’s why its not available for you.

So, yes, you can try to find the event that is running “after” the onclick_toolNew… but trying to find it by NAME could be a chore. It could be named ANYTHING.

Just jump into preview, turn on debugging, and watch what events fire when you click the new button.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I have found the event which are using the triggers!

Thanks,
