Yes, you can compare event properties from different events in Mixpanel using a feature called "Borrowed Properties." This feature allows you to borrow a property from one event and apply it to another event during analysis, making it appear as if that property was tracked on the target event all along.

Borrowed Properties is particularly useful in several scenarios: 1. Merging data from different systems: For example, combining client-side properties with server-side events. You can analyze which button clicks led to server errors, or which product features were used before a purchase was completed.2. Combining data between teams: If one team tracks dark mode usage and you want to see how it affects your onboarding conversion, you can borrow the dark mode property for your analysis.3. Joining event properties within a product session: You can analyze which in-product banners led to the most purchase conversions.Borrowed Properties works at query time, so it's retroactive and doesn't require any changes to your implementation or engineering work.

If you have: - An "Order Placed" event (client-side) with a "Concert Type" property - A "Transaction Processed" event (server-side) without that propertyYou can borrow the "Concert Type" property from "Order Placed" and apply it to "Transaction Processed" to analyze which concert types generate the most confirmed revenue.Borrowed Properties is available for customers on Growth and Enterprise plans, according to the documentation.
