Better visualization of Google Analytics 4 Event Lists

[kantarse]

Google Analytics 4 supports sending multiple events as a batch in a single request. In this case, Omnibug shows only one entry in the list, and lists all Events in the Events section. I find it misleading that Omnibug shows only the Event Type of the 1st event in the "pill". I mean:

The Omnibug entry should make it clear when a request contains multiple events. Ideally all Event Types should be shown in the "pill" (I don't know how you call that), or at least upon on klick.

As a bare minimum, there should at least be a visual hint / icon, which shows that the request contains multiple events.

Also, when you click on the entry, in the Events section, the Event Data of each event are shown as a list like:

Event 1 Data A
Event 1 Data B
Event 1 Type
Event 2 Data A
Event 2 Data B
Event 2 Data C
Event 2 Type
etc.

It would would be visually helpful to show separate tables per Event instead, or at least by coloring each event differently.

This is pretty high on the to-do list for v2.x! Development is underway but I don't have any timelines for when it will be released

Would love to assist with any kind of beta testing for v2 if you have a need for that at some point

I've made a minor update to help hold over until the larger update; you'll now see the number of events + each event listed in the pill.

MisterPhillip,

That minor update is what I do not want
this never happened to me until this afternoon - it was listing each of those 3 separate prior, which is what i want.

@shelbykolb - I understand the frustration. However, Omnibug does not change how GA4 works and batches hits. The only change here was to better show that multiple events are being sent. You'll note in the original comment in this thread that it showed only one event "trbo" was firing in the pill, however once the request details are expanded you can see there are at least two events. If you do not believe me, you can try using Edge with Omnibug from the Edge Extension Store. They still have not reviewed v2.x so it will be the same behavior as what you were seeing before Chrome's update this week.

You are welcome to browse the source code as well to confirm. The only change to GA4 in Omnibug over the last year was 5287c66 which was updating the omnibug_requestType parameter, used for the pill.

Super helpful already!
