Unfortunately, the code snippet in your example will always result in this manner, with the race condition if it's done outside of Launch's rule order controls (for example, if you are doing this within custom code action blocks). In your example, " window._satellite.track('commonsPageLoad');  " get...

To answer your question directly:  You make a rule, then within the 'actions' of that rule you add an Adobe Analytics 'Set Variables' action.  As you customize your 'set Variables' action, you get a nice UI in which you can set an evar or sprop directly to a data-element.  You'll need to have rules ...

Both our ideas are the same thing, just in a slightly different way.  For your example, I would set event2 equal to a new data-element, then I can use that data element to evaluate eVar5 and return a value (even if that value returned is an empty string, which would sobsequently NOT set the event on...

The direct call is made in a synchronous manner - but you can think of all the subsequent activity of the rule running afterwards. The execution of another Rule Trigger is completely external to the initial direct call line, so there's no control on timing there.If you need to control the timing, yo...

To add on to this; I really wish that every update had some sort of release notes.  There have been AA and ECID extension updates with absolutely no release notes.  We don't know if there was a fix to an issue, or a change in the way the extension behaves.Even if you hunt for release notes; the Adob...

We can add the votes from here also:  Ability to Turn Off/On ActivityMap Module in Adobe Analytics ExtensionThis is a crucial item for protecting against unintended/accidental PII collection on poorly designed sites.  It is very unfortunate that we have to edit appmeasurement just to turn off Activi...

Can you share some of the details about how your Rule is setup?For instance:Are you using a single rule with a trigger of the click event -> and then a single action block for AA(Set Variables) ?  Do you have additional actions like Send Beacon, Clear Variables, or custom code within that Rule?

I've seen some cases where a Dev environment all of the sudden 'disappears' , resulting in any attempts resulting in 404-errors.  If you're using launch command, it's no big deal since you just switch it off - or to a different environment, but if you are using the DTM/Launch Switch you will not be ...

How are your different rules and their corresponding action blocks set up?I think the issue your seeing is stemming from something you hinted at in this quote, but I'm not sure without more info:Where are you doing the logic to set s.products and s.events?  Are you using other extensions, , setvars ...

Thanks Stewart,To wrap this up; I tried a few scenarios to see the results on "counter-type custom events".  Below is the outline and results.Quick result summary:Yes, if your data element returns '0'; or you place a 0 in the GUI, then the counter event will not be set for the record in the report s...
