4. No flag filter in bulk evaluation request

Date: 2024-03-01

Status

Accepted

Context

There can be cases where bulk evaluation evaluates and returns hundreds or thousands of flags. Some feature flagging systems define filters that specify which flags should be bulk evaluated.

Decision

OFREP does not specify a flags property that specifies the flags to be bulk evaluated. For systems that rely on a list of flags, there is an alternative to include them through the context object.

Consequences

• There is no standardized way of filtering flags
  • Flags can still be filtered via the evaluation context
• OFREP stays simple and the evaluation only depends on context and authorization
