Yes, Mixpanel supports tracking events with properties that contain multiple objects, each with their own properties. This is specifically supported through Mixpanel's "List of Objects" property type.A List of Objects property allows you to track a list of complex items where each item has multiple properties. This is particularly useful for scenarios like: - Items in a shopping cart - Search results - Images in a slideshowHere's an example of how this would be structured in Mixpanel: LBKS"event": "Product Added", "properties": { "cart": [ { "brand": "Puma", "category": "Jacket", "price": 30 }, { "brand": "Adidas", "category": "Hats", "price": 15 } ] }LBKSSome important limitations to be aware of: 1. By default, Mixpanel will only parse the first 5 objects within a list in the UI 2. The limit for a List of Objects property is 8KB for event properties and 256KB for user profile properties 3. Each object can have a maximum of 255 keys with no nesting allowedIf you're on a paid plan and need to increase the 5-object limit, you can submit a request to Mixpanel support for review.When analyzing this data, you can break down and filter by the properties within these objects, and Mixpanel also provides special property computations like Size, Sum, and Distinct Count specifically for List of Objects properties.Mixpanel Documentation: Supported Properties Data Type Mixpanel Documentation: List of Objects Property Support
