Placing Your GA4 Measurement ID in a Constant Variable
To work quickly and accurately when creating and modifying GA4 event tags, place your GA4 Measurement ID in a constant variable. This way, you never have to start up GA4 and find it in the settings when you want to create a new tag. This also prevents spelling errors, ensuring all tags are set to the same Measurement ID.
