In theory, some or even most of the time yes. In practice, if you are
drilling into a specific issue, it is hugely more convenient to create
the specific one-off measurements you need rather than wade through
other UDMs / json results for finding the one line you need. Not to
mention that you might need a specific combination of flags.
(another approach might be to have one-off UDMs weight less in the
allowed maximum, if that makes sense...)
best,
Gilles
