The flag schema defines the available properties and their data types for a flag.

​
Edit Schema

Boolean flags start with a single enabled property of Boolean type. JSON flags start with the properties you defined during creation. You can add more properties to any flag type. You can always add new properties to a flag’s schema.
Program your clients so that they can always handle the presence of new properties in flag value.
You can change the name of a property if no variant sets a value for that particular property. The same is true for deleting a property from the schema. You can only delete a property if no variant sets a value for it. The schema editor disables properties that are in use by variants. To edit the schema for a flag, follow these steps.

  • Use short and descriptive name of the properties. For example, color is great.
  • Use boolean properties to represent the state of a feature. For example, use enable to represent if you should enable a feature or not.
  • Use kebab-case for property names: result-count is better than resultCount.
  • Avoid putting too much information in the name. For example, color is better than bgColor.
