The issue was first raised in the context of GA4 setup instructions, and users also asked whether analytics code can be excluded from the admin section.

TechGeek later inquired about any change in priority, to which sam replied that the issue remains assigned and an update is expected within a few weeks. TechGeek also flagged a critical deadline: Universal Analytics properties will stop processing new hits on July 1, 2023, adding urgency to resolving GA4 tracking issues.
