How to Display Custom Events on User Profiles in Mixpanel

I created some custom events in Mixpanel. But these custom events don't show up in user profile. However, the events I created them out of still show on the user profile. Is there a way to make custom events show up on user profile?

I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not mention a way to make custom events appear directly in the user profile activity feed in Mixpanel. According to the documentation, user profiles display the feed of actual events performed by the user, not custom (virtual) events. Custom events are virtual constructs used for analysis in reports like Insights, Funnels, Retention, and Flows, but they are not stored as real events tied to a user’s activity history. The underlying events that make up the custom event will still appear in the user profile, but the custom event itself will not.If you need to see a summary or analysis involving custom events, you can use them in reports, but not in the user profile view itself Custom Events: Combine multiple events for analyses User Profile: Demographic attributes for your users.If you require this functionality, you may want to consider submitting feedback to Mixpanel, as the current documentation does not indicate support for displaying custom events in user profiles.
