Hello 👋, We have an attribute currently defined as a string, but we are sending it as a number. This is causing issues with the
saved_group
, and we want to change its data type to a number. The question is: since we have rules in place to split users based on this attribute, how will the system handle the type change? Will the splits be lost, or is the system resilient enough to manage this change? Thx

Hey @miniature-zebra-80381 In this case I probably would try it out first by setting up basic feature with an experiment rule, then in the feaure use the test feature rules to test your changes. In the results you can then see if you you are now re-bucketed. I would assume that as long as your value in the the attribute doesn’t change a visitor will keep seeing the variation it was assigned to. Growthbook checks the values stored in the hash and that is independent from what attribute type was used.
