I added ga 4 tracking code, when I view the page source it shows a bit different code for ga than Google provides. I’ve specified both code below. Can someone confirm if I’ve set the value correctly?

 ![ga](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/9/6/9/96936a5385d01f2b2c900724b3c069c6b81c3550.png)

============ Google gives this code ==============

```plaintext
<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-B31345EJL"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'G-B31345EJL');
</script>

```

================ Discourse shows this code in page source ===========

```plaintext
 <meta id="data-ga-universal-analytics" data-tracking-code="G-B31345EJL" data-json="{&quot;cookieDomain&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;}" data-auto-link-domains="">

  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-B31345EJL"></script>

Hi Austin,

Your setup looks good to me and the page source you provided mirrors what I get on my test site when I’ve enabled GA rather than GTM. Are you seeing data flow through to your GA account?
