Add Inserted event handler to Data Maps screen

I'm working on a custom script to automatically update the external ID and description of an employee after the record is inserted into the Data Maps table for Type "Employees."

I created a simple Inserted event to test the trigger, but I'm encountering an error.

using System;
using PX.Objects;
using PX.Data;

namespace MYOB.AdvancedLive.People.Objects.PP
{
  public class MPTimesheetDataMapMaint_Extension : PXGraphExtension<MYOB.AdvancedLive.People.Objects.PP.MPTimesheetDataMapMaint>
  {
        protected void DataMap_RowInserted(PXCache sender, PXRowInsertedEventArgs e)
        {
            PXTrace.WriteInformation("DataMap_RowInsertedevent triggered.");
            var datamap = e.Row;
            if (datamap == null)
                return;

     
        }
  }
}

Modify the event handler to use Events.RowInserted<T> with a proper DAC reference. Here's the corrected version:

using System;
using PX.Data;

namespace MYOB.AdvancedLive.People.Objects.PP
{
    public class MPTimesheetDataMapMaint_Extension : PXGraphExtension<MYOB.AdvancedLive.People.Objects.PP.MPTimesheetDataMapMaint>
    {
        protected virtual void _(Events.RowInserted<DataMap> e)
        {
            PXTrace.WriteInformation("DataMap_RowInserted event triggered.");

            if (e.Row is DataMap datamap)
            {
                // Add your logic to update External ID and Description here
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi David,

Thanks for your suggestion, mate. I updated the script based on your comment, and it's working with a slight change: the DAC reference. Instead of DataMap, it’s using MBDataMap.

Also, could I ask how we determine the correct syntax for methods (like RowInserted in this case)? I'm currently using the protected void DataMap_RowInserted(PXCache sender, PXRowInsertedEventArgs e) method for the Employee screen, and it seems to work fine.

I appreciate your response, thanks!
