SSE Can't get CK quest to show up in journal, even though quest starts

[Dahveed]

I've recently been fiddling with a new mod (more like series of mods) which would remove forced quests from the player's journal on a new character, so you could start at lvl 1 using LAL with many mods installed and still have an empty journal and inventory for a "fresh" start.

 

I've done a few and things are going okay, but I'm stuck on Kaidan. That mod gives you a "titled" quest on game start. So I went into the CK and removed the "Start game enabled" toggle, and that's fine, the quest doesn't start.

 

Instead I put a trigger in Kaidan's prison cell which fires a message box mid-screen saying "You notice a man chained to the wall". That also works, so my trigger is functioning.

 

I attach a script to my trigger which fires off the quest using myquest.startquest(0) command. That also works, since when I start my character in-game at level 1, I open the console and I verify the quest (called K01) using the console command, "getstage k01" and it tells me 0. Great!

 

Then I go and run to my trigger, I get my messagebox, but no quest shows up in my journal. I type my getstage command and it says "1" (which is stage 1).

 

But there is nothing in my journal.

 

Is there something else a papyrus quest command has to "tell" the CK? What might I be missing?

And in case it wasn't clear enough, this is a quest which would previously appear by default in the player journal. The only change I made was to stop it starting on game start, and add a trigger instead.
