GA4 - Custom Item Scoped Dim capturing value "1" and not string

Question

GTM preview shows the parameter is correctly capturing and the dim is registered in GA4, but only a value of 1 is appearing. The parameter is also passed correctly when observing through GA4 debug.

Any thoughts?

Implemented Item scoped custom dimension capturing a string, however only a value of 1 is appearing.

Answer 1

From what I see in your setting.

The c_badgetext is an Event Parameter in your tag setting.

But at the custom dimension you set as the Item Scope.

---

Event parameter is different than item scope parameter.

Event parameter is along with the Event

Item scope parameter is following the Item

---

So what we need to find out is the c_badgetext should follow item or event?

If it's a item scope parameter. You need to put it within the items.

Here is an example of how to set custom parameter within an item.
