### Unexpected/unplanned event properties inheriting shared property metadata

Brady Shi

**Description:** Customers editing their shared event property metadata will now see that metadata (descriptions, visibility, etc.) reflected across all events that use that property (excluding event-level property overrides), even if they were unplanned on the event.

**Why:** Previously, in order to see any property metadata (like descriptions, or having a visibility set to Hidden), customers were required to plan properties on events. But this was unintuitive for many customers. Customers often found that if they set a property to Hidden that they were still able to see that property on most of their events.

**Where:** Event property dropdowns, or other locations where descriptions and the like are used

**Available in EUDC:** Yes
