    Hello;
    I would like to anonymize IP address in Gtag.
    Documentation says that I must insert this line :

    gtag('config', '<GA_MEASUREMENT_ID>', { 'anonymize_ip': true });

    So I copy this line in the Custom GA Code field.
    But when saved, the <GA_MEASUREMENT_ID> string is removed and the result is

    gtag('config', '', { 'anonymize_ip': true });

    I tried to escape bracked : \< and \>, but has no effect.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    <GA_MEASUREMENT_ID> is not literal. It is telling you to include the actual measurement ID, which will be an alphanumeric string that will not include any brackets.

    Oh sorry !
    Thus the solution is simple : add the text {'anonymize_ip': true} in Custom Tracker Objects field.

    Thank you for your rapid response.
