ability to mark properties as important

Open lsmith77 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem?

events tend to have a lot of properties but not all are equally important.

Describe the solution you'd like

in the data management it would be useful to mark properties as important. these properties should be listed first in all places:

  • in the data management section
  • in the event view

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!

Interesting idea! We have a similar "verified" concept for events. What impact would you expect important properties to have on the other parts of the product? I could see us promoting those properties over others, but did you have anything else in mind?

so when viewing event details, I would expect these properties to appear on the top and/or have bold names. similarly when configuring a filter I would hope for the same.

maybe this marking of “important” can also be implicit based on which properties have been documented?
