Get the Array length of a user property

Hey there,I have a custom User property “subscriptions” that contains an array of strings as so: subscriptions = [“Netflix”, “Disney+”, “Spotify”]Is it possible to create a chart that shows the number of subscriptions a user has? That would mean I need to somehow get the length of the array in the Segments area.I am not sure if something like this works:Could you please clarify how the operators work with arrays and if what I am trying is doable without creating a new property that contains the number of subscriptions such as number_of_subscriptions: 3GreetingsLeon

iOS app receives "400 Bad Request" Error when using Domain Proxy (setServerUrl)

Hello,I’m trying to implement a Domain Proxy in an iOS app, however, I'm facing a challenge with sending events to my proxy server and am seeking advice on how to address a recurring "400 Bad Request" error.The setup involves an iOS app that sends event data to Amplitude via a proxy. However, when attempting to send these events (some with a large payloads), the requests fail with a "400 Bad Request" response.Here are some specifics about the failing requests:- **Method:** POST- **Headers:** Include `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded` and a specific `User-Agent` tailored to our app.- **Body:** The request body is URL-encoded and contains multiple complex events.Despite ensuring the request body is correctly URL-encoded and the `Content-Type` header is appropriately set, these larger requests consistently fail.**Questions:**Are there any known size limitations for batches of event data sent to Amplitude, especially through a proxy server? Could the "400 Bad Request" error

Lose events on first launch app (Unity SDK with Domain Proxy)

We use our own proxy service, and if the application is launched for the first time after installation, we lose the first batch of events. On the second launch, all events come as expected from the very beginning of the application launch. In unity sdk we use setServerUrl() . if we set "https://api2.amplitude.com" all work as expected, but if we switch to our url we lose events on first launch. in the logs of our proxy server, we do not see the first batch of events (as if they are not sent from the app), and a few seconds after the application starts, we start receiving events. any idea how we can fix this issue? I’d appreciate any ideas on that issue.

Ampli npm package dependent on a Sentry version from 2 years ago

The Ampli SDK npm package uses Sentry to report errors to the Amplitude team. It’s set up to use v6 of Sentry’s packages. Those are 2 years old at this point and it creates dependency conflicts for Amplitude customers who also use Sentry. Would it be possible to have the team update ampli to depend on Sentry’s v7 packages (especially types)?

Users who performed an action at "any time" before or after another action

Hello,I’m trying to create a chart that shows me the users who performed action A either before or after action B, condensed into a singular percentage value. So I think the 100% value would show the total number of users who triggered action B, and the calculated percentage value would show the number of people who also performed action A, but action A can occur at any time, before or after action B. Would this be feasible?Thanks!

Why isn't this formula working to match event names?

I’m trying to create a derived property that has a value based on event name. If it ends in “Viewed”, it is a “Pageview”, ends in “Clicked” it’s a Click.  Otherwise it’s Other.What am I doing wrong in this?

How do I create an engagement matrix of "Top Events" but automatically exclude events based on wildcard?

We have custom events for click tracking and pageviews which is polluting reports and making certain report types very difficult to use. For example, in the Engagement Matrix report, you can’t do any rules on filters. You can choose individual events manually but then after limited to a certain #.If I choose any of the automatic “Top Events”, it will include all the click tracking and pageviews. I can de-select them from the chart, but that just hides them from the chart and doesn’t allow it to bring other events in.What am I missing? Is engagement matrix report just this bare bones that I can’t do what I want?

Is there a recommendation of what Identity Store (cookie vs local storage) to use?

In the Browser 2.0 SDK it says this:identityStorage string. Sets storage API for user identity. Options include cookie for document.cookie, localStorage for localStorage, or none to opt-out of persisting user identity.  By default this is “cookie” but is there an advantage to use localStorage?  When should we use this option? I realize there must be legacy browser issues, but that would have to be super old browsers that don’t support localStorage so trying to figure out the gotchas here. The docs do not give any guidance on this.

Double counting pageviews when running VWO Redirect Test

I am running into an issue where when I run a 50/50 split redirect test using VWO Amplitude is firing two pageview tags - one for the control and the other for the variant essentially double-counting pageviews. How can I best setup our VWO integration to avoid this behavior? Or, is there a way to filter out the double counting on the backend.
