I’m stuck on the Configure GTM section of [Integrate Google Tag Manager with Google Analytics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/integrate-google-tag-manager-with-google-analytics/47335#p-209300-configure-gtm-4) . The GTM UI doesn’t seem to have anyplace for me to specify the Measurement ID. When I publish, I get errors:

Validate Workspace

The workspace has the following errors:

| Type | Location | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Unknown variable name | [Google Tag Configuration Settings](https://tagmanager.google.com/?authuser=1#/container/accounts/6380431083/containers/266022608/workspaces/2/variables/6) | Unknown variable “DL-page-title” found in another variable. Edit the variable and remove the reference to the unknown variable. |
