How to place first extruder start code before machine start code

[Cbldwn 1]

I’ve added a second extruder and am using a single hotend and with a y-splitter in the bowden tube for color changes. Now I want Cura to call the first tool start g-code and then execute the purge command I have in the start g-code so I’ve added {machine_extruder_start_code} in the machine start g-code which executed the extruder start g-code as intended. The problem I’m having is that Cura is also running it again after the machine start code so it’s trying to advance my extruder that has just been primed 115mm essentially grinding the filament. I’ve tried running it without my custom purge line and upping the number of skirt lines but I end up with bits of filament coming off the nozzle which causes the skirt to stick to the nozzle ruining my first layer. I really don’t want to have to manually remove it on every part, there’s gotta be something I’m missing.
