Hey everyone I started an experiment in June added a variant

Question

Hey everyone I started an experiment in June added a variant in July and just tried adding two more variants JSON through the Features tab 6 variants in total now I m getting an error Warning Expected 4 variation ids `0` `1` `2` `3` but database returned 6 `0` `1` `2` `3` `4` `5` It seems like there s no way to refresh the full set of 6 variants and have them show on the experiment screen I m wondering if I should just remove the old feature flag and experiment and try recreating them Does anyone know if there are any limitations when deleting and recreating a feature flag under the same name Our client app is already deployed with active users but we have sensible fallback values in case of network errors Right now it seems like we ve got feature flagging with the correct distribution but no experiment reporting Thanks

I found the Edit variation option by switching to the old experiments UX I m guessing the best option is to keep the current feature flag experiments for now and remove and rebuild the feature and a new experiment for the next round phase of testing

the new UI has it but only when the experiment is in draft mode

You added variations to the same experiment

did you set up new phases

if you recreate the same experiment and use the same key it will show the same results the biggest thing that a new experiment will do is change the start dates

I tried removing some of the old variants but it appeared to mess with the UI Thanks for confirming maybe I ll recreate the feature flag using same key and create a new experiment to have cleaner reporting in the new UI

ya typically we don t recommend adding variants to an existing experiment

Good to know we have a mobile app with a lot of existing deployments I guess with the change of managing variants at the experiment level instead of feature flag that might be a bit easier in future Thanks for the quick help
