Description

For some reason the Google Analytics 4 integration seems to require all events to have a mapping configured to translate events from the system to Google Analytics 4 events.

This is quite different from how it works with the old analytics. Is there any documentation for the idea behind this? Just trying to figure out how to transition to GA4 with analytics.js.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Google Analytics 4 integration and analytics.js event-mapping behavior. Clarify why mappings are required compared with the old analytics integration, then document the transition guidance for GA4 users. Done means the mapping requirement and migration path are clearly explained.
