Allow segments to be matched against traffic type attributes

Please allow users to match traffic types attributes against segments.

 

Currently under Targeting Rules there are options in the dropdown for matching the traffic type ID against a segment. However, if you enter an attribute name those options are greyed out.

 

Segments are just collections of values so I don't see any reason why users should not be allowed to check a traffic type attribute value against one of those collections. This would add a lot more flexibility to the targeting rules and reduce the amount of work required to configure each split.

 

For example, if we have a language attribute and we want to create targeting rules based on the value we would have to type each language value into the targeting rules on every split. And if we decided to add a new value or need to change an existing one we have to go back through every split to make the change. If we were allowed to use segments we would only need to make the change in one place.

 

Here is a screenshot of the current behavior where the segment options are greyed out as soon as an attribute name is entered:

  Dustin - 

  This is great feedback and something we have both run into ourselves and something we have heard from customers.  Hoping we can make some progress for you here.  We'll reach out as we try to improve segments and their use cases in our product!

  Thanks for dropping this feedback in here.
