Awesome video, do you know why the dimensions get changed when you switch data sources on the same report.

Hi there, thanks for watching and for the question. Are you saying the GA4 data source changed from one GA4 property to another in the same report and the list of available dimensions changed? If so, one reason could be that one GA4 property has some custom dimensions that were set up that do not exist in the other GA4 property.

​@@rooted-digital Thank you for the prompt response. Yes that's correct and both GA4 properties have exactly the same custom dimensions.

Hmmm....in that case, you're asking about something I haven't personally encountered. I'll keep an eye out for it and let you know if it makes any sense to me when I do. Sorry I can't offer more assistance. Best wishes.
