There are two methods to either permanently or temporary change the values of `customData
` : `setCustomData
` and `setCustomDataOnce
`/`sendCustomDataEvent
`
### setCustomData
This methods allows you to change the value of a `customData
` field during a session. The method can be called multiple times during a session. There are two different cases to consider here:
#### Case 1
If the current state is `paused
` or `played
`, an additional sample will be sent when using this method. This sample will contain the old values for the changed `customData
` fields. Additionally, the sample will contain all measurements up until that point and will display the state when the method was triggered (`paused
` or `played
`). After that sample, the collector will continue with collecting data as new samples, however all following samples will contain the new values for the changed `customData
` fields.
#### Case 2
If current state is something other than `paused
` or `played
` no samples will be sent. The collector will just change the `customData
` values internally and all samples from this point on will contain the new `customData
` values.
### setCustomDataOnce / sendCustomDataEvent
This method allows you to change the value of a `customData
` field temporarily for one sample.
When this method is called, an additional sample will be sent. That sample will trigger the state = `customdatachanged
` and write new values for the selected `customData
` fields. All other duration measurements will be set to 0 (e.g. `played
`, `paused
`, `duration
` etc).
