v2.0.20 - Unable to clear "Google Analytics ID" field due to validation error (legacy UA/GTM requirement) #1169
Description
Hello, I am unable to leave the "Google Analytics ID" field empty to disable the module's built-in tracking. When I attempt to clear the field, I receive the following validation error:
"Google Analytics ID must start with 'UA-' or 'GTM-'"
Additionally, the field does not seem to accept valid GA4 IDs (which start with G-), limiting the usage to deprecated* Universal Analytics or GTM.
To Reproduce:
Go to the Google Analytics module configuration (or SEO configuration settings).
Clear the input field for "Google Analytics ID".
See the validation error preventing the save.
Expected behavior: I should be able to leave the field empty to disable the automatic script injection. Additionally, the validation should allow modern GA4 IDs (G-).
Additional context I need to implement a custom script in the section for GA. However, because I cannot clear this field, the module forces its own script injection, resulting in duplicate tracking tags on the site. I have also tried clearing it from the generic SEO configuration section without success.
