  • username - String - The username of the creator of the calculated event property.
  • creation_date - Number - The time stamp for when the calculated event property is created in milliseconds since epoch.
  • modification_date - Number - The time stamp for when the calculated event property is last modified in milliseconds since epoch.
An operand object contains the following fields:
  • type - String - can be "STATIC" (for numeric operand) or "PROPERTY" (for operand that is a property).
  • numeric_value - Number - when property_type is "STATIC", this is the value of the operand; otherwise, it is suppressed.
  • property_name - String - when property_type is "PROPERTY", this is the name of the property that is being used as the operand; otherwise, it is suppressed.
