s.events not picking up?

I am writing setting an event in the Launch interface,

and then adding a conditional event with JavaScript in the custom call section:

if (_satellite.getVar('dl-event-eventType')!==''){

    s.events = s.events + ",event83";

    console.log(s.events);

}

My console log here is outputting:

event82,event83

However the output in the analytics call is just:
    events: event82
