Description

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Similar to shared metrics, users would like a way to configure 'shared exposures' for experiments, so that they don't have to set up the same custom exposures repeatedly for each experiment.

Start by locating the existing shared metrics configuration and the experiment custom-exposure configuration, then determine how shared exposures should be configured and reused. Done means users can define an exposure once and use it across experiments.
