Not the same.
I am asking how to add it today, not if XF will switch, because obviously they will.

You can associate the new GA4 ID with the old in GA settings. You don't have to change anything in XF ACP for the moment.

Thanks @nicodak
Yes, in the old one I have the new one connected.
Old one, everything shows up.
New one, there are no stats at all, no live users, nothing.
In other sites with the exact same config (but using the new code), everything shows correctly in the new one.
So it seems that it can be connected, but in order to actually work, you have to use the new code in the sites.

It works for me...
Otherwise you can remove the old code in ACP and just paste the GA4 tag in PAGE_CONTAINER template between <head> tags

Yes if you see my source code page you will see the old tag, but in GA version 4 i can see datas. Not so much datas because my forum is all new and i associated the new tag this night. But i can see realtime datas without any problem.

If you don't trust the association system just past the new tag in PAGE_CONTAINER.

Not in mine.
It is not that I don't trust the association system, is that if I use the new code it works, if not, it doesn't.
Just to confirm. You go to the OLD one in Analytics, click Upgrade to GA4 and you see there Connected Property, which is the new one.
Thats it, correct?
Thank you.

It is a bit confusing. For anyone looking into connecting the new with the old one:
In the old one go to: Admin > Tracking Info > Tracking code
Click Connected Site Tags
Add there the new one starting with G.
That is for using an old one and not with a new created one and it seems you can only use one or the other under:
Add new on-page tag / Use existing on-page tag
Connecting the OLD one to the NEW one does not work. So everything is confusing.
The best solution is to just use the new one, but that has to be in the PAGE_CONTAINER as mentioned above.

I really don't understand what's wrong in your case.
You activate GA4 then a new tag is created then you go to the old GA page and you associate the new tag with the old one and it works.
Sorry for my bad english, probably i'm not explain very well.

Yes. I just did this for all my sites last night. One alert: the conversion scripts are still buggy. Google popped up a couple of erroneous error messages (saying incorrectly that I wasn't the owner or didn't have permissions, that sort of thing) but the conversion went through correctly anyway.
