Thank you for the clear tutorials. Unfortunatly Google has now changed the tags on the dash and so the tutorial is now outdated.

Great video. As of november 2022 I don't think you need to paste any code into the custom tracker objects in the plugin. If you just paste the G-{ID} in the first field, the plugin will create the code by itself. Cheers!
