    <description>&lt;H2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Summary&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This article explains &lt;STRONG&gt;how to add experimental properties to a Dynatrace Browser monitor script&lt;/STRONG&gt;. Experimental properties are typically used during &lt;STRONG&gt;Dynatrace Support troubleshooting&lt;/STRONG&gt; to enable additional diagnostics, or temporary behavior changes in Synthetic Monitoring Browser clickpaths.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;With a few exceptions, many of these settings are &lt;STRONG&gt;not documented publicly&lt;/STRONG&gt; and should only be applied when explicitly requested by Dynatrace Support.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;LI-TOC indent="15" liststyle="disc" maxheadinglevel="3"&gt;&lt;/LI-TOC&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;When to use experimental properties&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You may be asked to configure experimental properties in a Browser monitor script when:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Dynatrace Support is investigating &lt;STRONG&gt;Synthetic Monitoring failures or inconsistencies&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Additional &lt;STRONG&gt;diagnostic data or logging&lt;/STRONG&gt; is required&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;A &lt;STRONG&gt;change in behavior&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;of the Synthetic player is needed for a small use-case&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":warning:"&gt;⚠️&lt;/span&gt; Experimental properties are &lt;STRONG&gt;support‑guided only&lt;/STRONG&gt;. Adding undocumented properties without guidance may lead to unexpected monitor behavior. The only exception to this are those documented in the Troubleshooting forum.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How to add experimental properties to a Dynatrace Browser monitor&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Follow these steps to safely add experimental properties to a Browser monitor script.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;In Latest Dynatrace Synthetic app&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1. Open the Browser monitor&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;In Dynatrace, navigate to &lt;STRONG&gt;Synthetic&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Select the relevant &lt;STRONG&gt;Browser monitor&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2. Edit the monitor script&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click &lt;STRONG&gt;Edit monitor settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Open the &lt;STRONG&gt;Advanced Setup&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;tab.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3. Add the experimental property&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Expand the &lt;STRONG&gt;Experimental properties&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;section&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Select &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Add property&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="HannahM_0-1778842116766.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/33161i2AD92DC3038DE040/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" alt="HannahM_0-1778842116766.png" title="HannahM_0-1778842116766.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Enter the Name and Value&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="HannahM_1-1778842218439.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/33162i086EA64067F02E51/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" alt="HannahM_1-1778842218439.png" title="HannahM_1-1778842218439.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Replace &lt;CODE&gt;propertyName&lt;/CODE&gt; and &lt;CODE&gt;value&lt;/CODE&gt; with the &lt;STRONG&gt;exact details provided by Support&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Do not modify or add additional experimental properties unless instructed.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;4. Save and deploy&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click &lt;STRONG&gt;Save&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Execute the Browser monitor to ensure the changes take effect.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;In Classic Synthetic&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1. Open the Browser monitor&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;In Dynatrace, navigate to &lt;STRONG&gt;Synthetic, &lt;/STRONG&gt;or the &lt;STRONG&gt;Synthetic Classic app&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Select the relevant &lt;STRONG&gt;Browser monitor&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2. Edit the monitor script&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click &lt;STRONG&gt;Edit monitor settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Open the &lt;STRONG&gt;script editor&lt;/STRONG&gt; for the Browser clickpath.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3. Add the experimental property&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Locate the &lt;CODE&gt;configuration&lt;/CODE&gt; section of the monitor’s &lt;STRONG&gt;JSON configuration&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Add the experimental property using the format provided by Dynatrace Support:&lt;LI-CODE lang="markup"&gt;"experimentalProperties": {
  "propertyName": "value"
}​&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For example:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="HannahM_4-1778842394150.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/33166i9B87BBC44A237910/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" alt="HannahM_4-1778842394150.png" title="HannahM_4-1778842394150.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Replace &lt;CODE&gt;propertyName&lt;/CODE&gt; and &lt;CODE&gt;value&lt;/CODE&gt; with the &lt;STRONG&gt;exact details provided by Support&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Do not modify or add additional experimental properties unless instructed.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;H4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;4. Save and deploy&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click &lt;STRONG&gt;Save&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Execute the Browser monitor to ensure the changes take effect.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Validation&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After applying the experimental property:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":white_heavy_check_mark:"&gt;✅&lt;/span&gt; Verify that the Browser monitor executes successfully&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":cross_mark:"&gt;❌&lt;/span&gt; If errors occur or the issue persists, share the &lt;STRONG&gt;updated script&lt;/STRONG&gt; with Dynatrace Support for further analysis&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For related Browser clickpath scripting guidance, see:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Troubleshooting/How-to-interact-with-trusted-events-in-a-Browser-Clickpath/ta-p/222074" target="_self"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;How to interact with trusted events in a Browser Clickpath&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;FAQ&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Are experimental properties officially documented by Dynatrace?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;No. Dynatrace does not publish a public list of experimental properties. With the exception of small number documented in the Troubleshooting forum, they are provided &lt;STRONG&gt;case‑by‑case by Dynatrace Support&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Can I use experimental properties in production monitors?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For any documented in the Troublshooting forum, yes, these properties are production-suitable. For others, only if explicitly instructed by Dynatrace Support.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;What's Next&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If this does not resolve the issue, please open a support ticket and provide&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;a link to the affected monitor&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;mention this article and any other troubleshooting steps taken&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;

&lt;DIV class="lia-message-template-content-zone"&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*&lt;EM&gt;Use a table of contents for longer articles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;Summary&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;*This is a mandatory section.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Short description of which part of the Dynatrace platform the article refers to and what kind of problem it will help resolve/ task it will describe.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;Problem&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;*This is a mandatory section.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Provide a precise description of the problem/ task to be described. Use anonymized screenshots, and include text for&amp;nbsp;important messages, errors, or information that will help the customer find this article when searching.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;H2&gt;What's next&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;*This is a mandatory section. Customers need a way to respond or follow up if they have questions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Explain what to do if the article did not help.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Note that there are multiple options available, including:&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Opening a support ticket&lt;/STRONG&gt; - be as specific as possible about the information the customer should include in the ticket.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt; If this article did not help, please open a support ticket, mention that this article was used and provide the following in the ticket:
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;link to XYZ&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;screenshot of XYZ&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;information about XYZ&lt;/LI&gt;

&lt;LI&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Suggesting Product Idea&lt;/STRONG&gt; - encourage the customer to suggest/ vote for a Product Idea explaining their business use case.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Explain this will change in the future&lt;/STRONG&gt; - explain that this behaviour will change in a future release. (No product idea / support ticket needed)&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Alternatives -&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;any other actions or links to other articles that could move the customer forward.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
