Question
I'd like to be able to add an attribute that may change throughout the lifetime of the app to all spans logged by the SDK. I'm using OpenTelemetry so I can add tags that are static and known at initialization time via OtelTracerProvider.Builder.addTag, but this doesn't work for attributes that either aren't static or aren't known at initialization time.
I looked into SpanEventMapper but very little of the SpanEvent object is mutable (only resource and name) and the SDK drops Spans if the mapper returns a new object instead of the one that was passed in.
Is there another approach to solving this problem? If not, would you consider making SpanEvent.Meta.additionalProperties a MutableMap or exposing a setter to add properties?
