DataDog
Feature flag naming
Describe the bug
When trying to set a feature flag I have a prefix for the origin of the feature flag. As such I use unleash so prefix each flag with unleash. when it shows up in the datadog dashboard it shows the name as just the unleash without the remaining string.
Seems like its slicing on dashes and dots.
And the value is then shown as [object object]
Reproduction steps
import {
DdRum,

DdRum.addFeatureFlagEvaluation('unleash.testing-feature-flag', false)

Hi @UrbanChrisy, thank you for reaching out.
I believe that unleash.testing-feature-flag is interpreted as:
"unleash": {
"testing-feature-flag": true
}
Because of the dot notation, which is a standard in Datadog for defining nested properties.
Would it be possible for you to use another symbol as separator?
@marco-saia-datadog Its kind of annoying to have to change our feature flags over different systems, is there a way to bypass this? Since these values are synced between different platforms not only datadog. And we already have feature flags in production apps which cannot be changed.
To makes more sense that Datadog would handle this and not us.
