Hi! I’m passing a list of values for an event property. Is there a “correct” way to parse these strings and analyze them individually rather than as a list?
For example [“backpacking”, “camping”] => two entries, one for backpacking & one for camping.
Thanks,
Matt

Hey
Afaik, properties sent as array lists can be analyzed in two ways
If you use contains/is, then Amplitude looks for the substring/exact match in the array and matches it.
So contains/is “camping” will match events with both [“backpacking”, “camping”] and [“camping”] as event properties. Here’s a demo chart.
If you want to evaluate the array as a set, then the set operators helps. You can read more here on how they work.
Let me know if I have interpreted your use case correctly.
