Props renaming

Hi

So i changed the value of a prop, but all the data (new) is getting attributed to the original value. Any idea why that might be happening or is there any way to bypass this except using processing rules?

Have you verified your tag implementation, i.e. to ensure that the new value is indeed being tracked as expected?

Renaming a prop (or an eVar or success event) won't change the values that are reported, even those values that had been tracked before the renaming.

Are you sure that the prop's name was the only thing that had been changed?

I changed the prop's value only (in custom code- s.prop=""); While i understand it would not change existing data attributions, shouldn't new data be attributed to the new value of prop? Even in the reports i see only the old value.

@prerna What is meant by attribution here? If you were passing in s.prop1="prerna" and is now passing s.prop1="prerna1", the prop1 report will show "prerna1" since the time the change was implemented. The report for historical dates will still show "prerna". Likewise when you correlate with another variable.

    @ ishans52004352- Ideally, yes, your prop1 reports should now show 'prerna1". Instead, all new instances of prop1 are still showing against 'prerna'. Even the new ones, is this the issue?

    @arindamagarwal - It's likely we are missing something. Could you reach out to Adobe Client Care with the screenshot of the report and they will get back to you with an answer?

      @yuhuisg- I did verify it. As I mentioned- I can see that the instances are getting incremented, but to the old value, not the new one
