ok, it will obviously still have the same column name, thats why I was concerned.
But good to know, then we'll simply change the data typecast for the field when we fetch data from the data warehouse.
no, its an implementation mistake. We could cast it in this one event also to object. I'm just wondering if Mixpanel will simply accept the type change for this field
thanks Josh L..
Actually the wrong type cast happens in the selection from our database (we ingest from our data warehouse into mixpanel). Any suggestions here?
Hi community,
we are ingesting multiple events with a certain field device_properties .
All events sent this field as an object type except for one where its defined as a string by mistake.
We would like to fix this by also changing the string to an object type in this event. Whats the easiest way to achieve this?
I assume a cast in the existing ingest will not work?
Is there a workaround inside mixpanel maybe without touching the ingest itself?
