Type of issue: Feature Experimentation
Description: Hi,
We are using Feature Rollout functionality and having difficulties to enable/disable the feature for QA/Dev users.
What we would like to have is that certain audience, could disable it completely but "Everyone" could be 100%. Looked at the documentation https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/feature-experimentation/docs/target-audiences#advanced-audience-information here and saw the following statement, which we could confirm that if you have an audience that is 0%, and "Everyone" was 100% - the feature for that audience becomes 100%.
"For example, you cannot exclude all Brazilian users by simply dialing back to 0% traffic for that audience. That is because if you turn off audience evaluation for Brazilian users, they end up in the "Everyone" audience."
We found a workaround but not entirely happy with it. If you could please advise.
Workaround:
"Everyone": -> 0%
"ACustomAttribute": NOT "disabled" -> 100%
If that customAttribute is not set, the user gets 100%, if you explicitly pass disabled - 0%.
It is quite confusing to set this up and explain. Is there an alternative method we could be using?
Thank you,
A
