Correct! The custom property definition would only be evaluated on the events that meet the event name criteria. Other events would have a value of 'not set'.
ok I didn't realize it works like that, so I can just do IFS(Event Name IN [list of event names], Custom Property Definition) and it will only show on the events I care about, yeah?
The result would depend on how the custom event property is structured. For example, if you had a property that was IFS(Event Name = "Event 1", "event name match"), then any event that isn't "Event 1" would return 'not set' when the custom property is applied.
Can you share more on the specific property/ behavior you're looking for?
Hi Vlad- Julianne from Mixpanel Support here!
I'd recommend adding a criteria to the custom property that specifies ["Event 1", "Event 2"] in Event Name. Note, the name needs to match the specific event name being sent, not the display name. You can use the criteria to only return a value if the event is a match to the one you are interested in.
Would that work for your use case?
