Summary

  • Cohort event-property filters compared property_key to the literal picker value products.*.name, so array properties flattened by toDots (products.0.name, products.1.name, …) never matched.
  • Wildcard keys now use the same * → LIKE pattern as charts (products.%.name). startsWith and endsWith compare the value instead of falling through to an exact match.
  • The property-value dropdown uses that same pattern, so suggestions for a wildcard key are not empty.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Cohort event filters now correctly match event properties using wildcard keys, including nested properties.
    • Cohort filters support “starts with” and “ends with” matching for event-property values.
    • Chart property-value queries now return matches for wildcard property keys as well as exact keys.

The property picker stores products.*.name, but cohort queries compared that literal key, so array properties never matched.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Event criteria and chart value queries now support wildcard event property keys. Event criteria also apply startsWith and endsWith operators to property values.

Changes

Wildcard Property Matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wildcard matching in event criteria
packages/db/src/services/cohort.service.ts, packages/db/src/services/cohort.service.test.ts
Event criteria use exact key matching for keys without * and transformed LIKE matching for wildcard keys. The query handles startsWith and endsWith value operators. Tests cover wildcard matching and quote escaping.
Wildcard matching in chart values
packages/trpc/src/routers/chart.ts
The event-property values query uses transformed LIKE matching for wildcard keys and exact matching for other keys.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to db3d8

Cohort filters can select unintended events, while property-value suggestions can be missing or drawn from other properties. Correct the matching predicates before merging.

Match one array-index segment in wildcard property keys.

For properties.products.*.name, this code emits products.%.name. ClickHouse % matches zero or more characters, so the predicate also accepts products..name and products.0.details.name. A filter intended for flattened array entries can therefore include unrelated property rows. Match one numeric index segment instead, and escape literal characters in the remaining key segments.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Treat filter values as literals for prefix and suffix matching.

If a startsWith or endsWith value contains % or _, these branches interpret that character as a LIKE wildcard. For example, startsWith: 'sale_%' matches values that do not start with the literal text sale_%. Use literal prefix and suffix functions, or escape LIKE metacharacters before adding the intended wildcard. (clickhouse.com)

Escape literal LIKE metacharacters in the chart values pattern.

The picker can return properties.products.*.sale_rate from a stored products.0.sale_rate key. transformPropertyKey produces products.%.sale_rate without escaping _. The chart values query passes that pattern to LIKE, so products.0.saleXrate also matches and contributes values from the wrong property key. A cohort-only predicate fix does not change this chart query.

Escape literal LIKE metacharacters before converting * segments. The shared helper also feeds mapExtractKeyLike, whose implementation is not present in the inspected repository, so the fix should preserve that consumer’s pattern contract.

Constrain chart wildcard matching to one numeric path segment.

For properties.products.*.name, this query uses LIKE 'products.%.name'. % can span dots or match an empty string, so chart autocomplete can return values from products.0.details.name and products..name. A cohort-predicate fix alone does not change this independent chart values query. Use a segment-aware, anchored predicate that maps * to one numeric index. Escaping literal % and _, or replacing later * segments, does not fix this first-segment overmatch.

Convert every wildcard segment before querying.

transformPropertyKey in packages/db/src/services/chart.service.ts replaces only the first .*. occurrence. A nested key such as products.*.items.*.name therefore leaves the second * in the LIKE pattern, so the autocomplete query returns no matching values. Make the transform replace every wildcard segment.

In `@packages/trpc/src/routers/chart.ts` at line 412, Update transformPropertyKey
so it replaces every wildcard segment in nested property keys, such as
products.*.items.*.name, before building the autocomplete query’s LIKE pattern.
