Hi All, 

I would like to create a process where I build out a new list/add new list items from a metric.

It is possible to build new lists from list properties but can this be done by a metric?

If so, how?

Hi Chris,

 

Thanks for the question. As of today, a metric can't build a new list or add new items to a list on its own.

 

There's no direct "metric → list" function that enables this path as a metric's structure is made up of dimension lists. Pigment doesn't support automatically creating or populating list items from a metric. New items have to come in via an import.

 

More information on that below:

If this is something you’d find particularly useful, I’d recommend raising it in our  Ideas portal for the team to consider.
