I had the same problem. Google Analytics 4 Property ID (G-XXXXXXXX) vs UA-XXXXXXX-X. I found solution by creating a Universal Analytics property.

Tracking ID and property number.

This needs to be addressed soon.

Since analytics.js is not depreciated so I think we should support both UA-PROPERTY_ID^analytics.js and G-MEASUREMENT_ID^gtag.js. I'm assuming a simple hasPrefix . "UA-" and hasPrefix . "G-" should be enough to tell the difference.

I will have to learn about implementing the same privacy options with gtag.

Anyone know why the functions are namespaced differently? There's hasPrefix and strings.HasSuffix.
