To view listVars in AEP Assurance Debugger

Not able to see the listVars in the post-processing section of the AEP Assurance debugger. Ideally, we are able to see eVars and props in this section, which are mapped from the processing rules. But list variables are not visible.

Multiple validations have been done

Hi @aguseranalytics 

Yeah, this is a known gap. Unlike eVars and props, listVars don’t actually show up in the post-processing section of Assurance, which can definitely be confusing. Assurance mainly displays variables that are processed through standard rules, and listVars are a bit different in how they behave.

If you want to check if your listVar is working -

• Look at the request payload in Assurance (under the “request” tab) to see if the values are actually being passed — something like list1=val1,val2.

• You can also inspect the network request in your browser’s dev tools or with the Adobe Experience Platform Debugger.

• From there, the best way to verify processing is in your Workspace reports, if the data’s coming through there, the listVar is being handled correctly on the backend.
  
  

Would be great if Adobe added support for showing listVars in Assurance too, but for now, this workaround usually works.

Hope that helps!

Hi @aguseranalytics , Align with Vinay's reply. ListVars (list variables) behave differently from standard eVars and props in Adobe Analytics, and this affects their visibility in AEP Assurance Debugger, especially in the post-processed section.

Steps to verify:

1. Open AEP Assurance (formerly Adobe Experience Platform Debugger)
2. In the Raw Beacon Data (pre-processed) or Payload tab, look for:
   • list1, list2, etc. — depending on the variable used

     Example: list1: value1,value2,value3

    Confirm they are present in the payload being sent to Adobe.

Since you can't rely on Assurance post-processing to confirm ListVars:

• Go to Adobe Analytics > Workspace

• Create a table:

  • Rows: List Var 1 (or whatever listVar you've set up)

  • Metrics: Occurrences, Instances, or relevant Event

• Test your implementation and check if the values appear.
