Hi there,
We added a new user property and I was hoping that this would propagate to historical events.
However, this has not occurred and this user property is still showing as `(none)` for events created before this user property was set.
I was reading this somewhat related topic where
Once a user property is set, it will be applied to all events going forward until it gets updated. For example, you first have user property email = abc@gmail.com, all events will have this user property value. Then you send in another value today email = def@gmail.com, all events from that point onwards will have the user property value def@gmail.com.
And:
You can update the same user prop "email" by including "email" in the payload with the new value and specify that it will be overwritten for the user properties at the top and the new value will propagate to further events. Historical events will not get updated.
Does this confirm that it is not possible to update the user properties of historical events? Or is there a way to do this?
Would like to emphasise that this is a new user property that did not previously exist (in case that makes any difference).
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
