i-nahornyi opened a new issue, #6762:
URL: https://github.com/apache/jmeter/issues/6762
### Use case
There is currently no explicit/documented field in `SampleResult` that
identifies the type of result, such as `SAMPLE` or `TRANSACTION`.
The current workaround is to use:
```java
TransactionController.isFromTransactionController(sampleResult)
```
However, this approach is fragile because transaction detection depends on
other `SampleResult` fields. In particular, it can break when a user redefines
the `responseMessage` of the Transaction Controller with a custom value.
This behavior is also not documented, so users have no way to know that
redefining the Transaction Controller's `responseMessage` can silently break
transaction detection.
### Possible solution
Add an explicit `sampleType` field to `SampleResult`, for example:
```java
public enum SampleType {
SAMPLE,
TRANSACTION
}
```
Then consumers could use:
```java
sampleResult.getSampleType() == SampleType.TRANSACTION
```
This would provide a reliable way for listeners, backend listeners, plugins,
and other consumers to identify the type of a `SampleResult`.
