Yes, you can create a custom property that references a specific value in a list property like
myList[0]in Mixpanel's Insights report. This can be done using the custom properties feature, which allows you to combine existing properties into new properties on the fly.To achieve this, you can use thequeryfunction with an index to access a specific element of the list. Here's how you can do it:LBKSquery(myList, 0)LBKSThis custom property formula will return the first element (index 0) of themyListproperty.This functionality is described in the Mixpanel documentation under the "Query a List with an Index" section Custom Properties: Calculate new properties on the fly. The documentation provides an example of parsing out the first delivery ID in a list property:LBKSquery(properties.DeliveryIDs, 0)LBKSBy creating this custom property, you can then use it in your Insights report like any other property for filtering, breaking down, or in formulas.Remember that custom properties allow you to perform various transformations and calculations on your existing properties, giving you more flexibility in your analysis within Mixpanel.kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
