Merging Property Values for Consistent Data Management

·

·

I know there's a way to merge events and event properties, but is there any way to merge property values? My team recently changed one of the property values and I'd love to have continuity on it

I'd say about once a month? I generally ignore it or put it off because if it's not directly affecting reports the CEO or the board are going to look at it's medium priority and medium priority might as well be the trash bin 😄

Hi Vlad, I'll pass this along to our product team. Out of curiosity, how often does this need come up for you?

yep, you got it precisely, I'd like a merge option for values, without having to manage custom properties, which are, IMO, too big a hammer for this rather limited use case

We do have the concept of borrowed properties, but not sure this solves what you are actually wanting which is an easier way for property continuity: https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/features/custom-properties#borrowed-properties

Jess C. tagging you here as this could be another idea for our data gov team!

yeah I've done custom properties before, where I use the same name as the original event and then I hide the original event... but it's kind of a messy solution

I typically do it with a custom property. I use the IFS function to convert the values into a consistent set of values
