Allow separate descriptions for Entry and Exit s.props

Description -

Within the Report Suite Manager, we're given an option to add a Description to Traffic Variables, Conversion Variables, and Success Events. These descriptions can help users understand what a variable is tracking.

Unlike with s.eVars and s.events, s.props have Entry and Exit versions. For example, if s.prop1 is capturing the URL, users may see Page URL (s.prop1), Entry Page URL (s.prop1), and Exit Page URL (s.prop1) when they are looking at dimensions in Workspace. 

 

Why is this feature important to you -

Users can be confused by what "Entry" and "Exit" versions of an s.prop mean. Often, they think that these s.props are set when someone lands on or exits a page, which is not necessarily the case. 

 

Current Behaviour -

s.props have a single Description that applies to the standard, Entry, and Exit versions of the dimension. Having a single Description cover all versions of the s.prop can lead to long definitions, which can be hard for a user to read through and understand.

 

How would you like the feature to work -

Allow separate Descriptions for the Entry and Exit versions of s.props. This will allow admins to provide a more nuanced definition, while not requiring a user to read through a long Description.
