Hello, I need to trigger some actions whenever a new version is created for tasks on an asset. Example: do a turntable render every time a new version of the model is published. Unfortunately the Events Log seems to register only changes to versions (_Shotgun\_Version\_Change_) and not new versions created. I am building a demo of a product for VFX and Feature Animation that I have integrated with Shotgun and this feature is key to show the potential to the prospect clients. Thanks, Marco. ---

Hello, I run further tests and I can confirm that adding the Version via Shotgun UI registers the right _Shotgun\_Version\_New_ event in the log, followed by _Change_ events. Unfortunately, doing the same via the Python API does not produce the same effect. This is an excerpt of the code I am using: > ``` > sg = shotgun_api3.Shotgun(SG_URL, script_name=SG_SCRIPT, api_key=SG_KEY) > versionData = {"code": name, "entity": link, "project": project} > newVersion = sg.create("Version", versionData) > > ``` Will keep investigating, but it would be helpful if I could get some hints. Thanks, Marco. ---

Just found thi spage, which mentions that I might have to create my own events to log from my application: [https://developer.shotgunsoftware.com/python-api/event\_types.html](https://developer.shotgunsoftware.com/python-api/event_types.html) Is there any way that I could rely solely on existing Shotgun events triggered by my application? Thanks, Marco. ---

`Shotgun_Version_New` works fine here… and our versions are created from programs. Did not completely understand - you are saying that when you create the version programmatically, you get no event at all? ---

> [@mmoshev](#): > > programmatically, you get no event at all? When I create the Version from the Shotgun web app I get the New and Change events. When I create the version using sg.create(“Version”, data) I don’t get any Event at all. The only solution I found this far is to use sg.create(“EventLogEntry”, eventData) after sg.create(“Version”, data) is successful. Is this the only way, or is there a way to generate the event automatically on sg.create ? ---

I don’t think there is intended to be any difference at all between manual and automated creation. Could be a bug. ---

Are you using script-based authentication? If so, be sure you have the “Generate Events” field selected for that script. ![CleanShot 2021-04-07 at 09.59.09@2x](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/shotgunsoftware/original/2X/9/93ffd7a6057e24c9cabf185d47cedc516528b60d.png). If it’s not selected, your script won’t generate events. This was added a long way back to help reduce the amount of events generated by active scripts where the events were not of any consequence. cheers, kp ---

Thanks a lot Kevin! I guess things have changed in the past 12 years 😅 ---

I confirm everything works properly. Thanks again! ---

Oh cool, did not realize that existed!
