My apologies, the above document is specifically referencing signals search & back-filled trait realizations. In terms of actual trait expressions, our system forces all lowercase values, therefore the qualifications are not case-sensitive.

Hello,

 

Yes, signals & trait expressions are case sensitive: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/audience-manager/user-guide/features/data-explorer/signals-search/data-explorer-search-pairs.html?lang=en#case-insensitivity

 

Best,

If traits are case-sensitive, then why can't I create a trait and keep it the case it needs to be for future data coming from our data warehouse?

True, this applies to onboarded traits - see https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/audience-manager/user-guide/faqs/faq-inbound-data-ingestion.html?lang=en

 

 

.. as well as rule-based traits, which you can also test using the Test Event URL Tool in the Trait Expression Builder:
