What is the selfGenerated property in a Forge event?

My app processed an event from Confluence that included a property named selfGenerated. However, I cannot find any mention of this property in Forge docs. Can anyone confirm whether this is a reliable property? And if so, what is its behavior?

You can find references to it in this table: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/trigger/#filter-reference

Filter reference

Property Type Required Description
ignoreSelf boolean The filter property must have either ignoreSelf or expression or both of them defined. Ignore self-generated events.

For example, an app updates an issue and ignores the avi:jira:updated:issue event that is generated by this operation.

Note that currently ignoreSelf only works with Jira events.|
