How do I make sure that Mixpanel uses the latest event in a group?

Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about ensuring Mixpanel uses the latest event in a group. However, I can provide some relevant information about how Mixpanel handles event data in relation to groups.According to the Mixpanel documentation on borrowed properties, when borrowing a property from another event within a group:"Borrowing of a property is strictly from the most recent event in the 7 day lookback window. To elaborate: - Say on event "purchase", you want to borrow property "search term" from an event "search product". If there are multiple events "search product" before "purchase", the property will be borrowed from the most recent "search product" event where the property is set. - Lookback is also fixed to a 7 day window. Say the "purchase" event occurred on 31st Jan, if the most recent "search product" occurred on 20th Jan, the borrow functionality will return "search term" = (not set), since this event happened 11 days ago which is outside the lookback window range."This suggests that Mixpanel automatically uses the most recent event within a 7-day window when borrowing properties. However, this information is specific to borrowed properties and may not apply to all group-related functionalities in Mixpanel.To ensure you're working with the most up-to-date data in your Mixpanel project, you might want to consider the data sync feature, which helps keep data fresh and minimizes missing data points. However, this feature is more related to syncing data between Mixpanel and data warehouses, rather than specifically ensuring the latest event in a group is used.If you need more specific information about ensuring Mixpanel uses the latest event in a group, I recommend contacting Mixpanel support directly, as the provided knowledge sources don't contain enough information to fully answer this question.
