Derived field containers are limited to event, session, and person scope
In Adobe Customer Journey Analytics (CJA), derived field functions currently support only event, session, and person scope containers. Derived fields do not support using a dimension value as a container to group related events. Support for dimension-based containers is planned for a future release. To resolve the issue, use supported scopes until future enhancements.

Issue/Symptoms
- Derived field functions support only event, session, or person scope containers.
- Derived fields do not allow a dimension to act as a container.
Resolution resolution
Derived field functions currently support only event, session, and person scope containers. A future release will allow the use of a dimension to act as a container and create specific groupings of events defined by the container value.
For example, suppose you want to calculate the number of days between a customer placing an order and the order being delivered. Derived field containers will allow the days to be calculated for events with the same Purchase ID to accurately calculate the time it takes for an order to be delivered after it is placed. In this example, the Purchase ID acts as the container, and the derived field returns the number of days between events associated with each distinct Purchase ID.
