[AAE] Have Adobe Analytics Global Variables fire on all AA rules

The variables set in the Analytics extension's Global Variables seem to not fire on all rules/rule types (see Global Variables - Direct Call Rule ). This is similar to how it was in DTM.

It would be great if we had some control over this (maybe give me the ability to say "fire for all beacons" or "fire for all s.t beacons" or "fire immediately before any beacon, but after other rules" or something), or by default they DID fire anywhere the Analytics Extension was in a rule. Otherwise, folks still have to resort to using doPlugins, or setting up a rule for global variables that somehow fires on all other AA rules/beacons.

    would it be an option to "move" ALL s.tl() calls to the rule setup? would mean instead of doing all the config stuff in the analytics extension, the extension provides both a trigger for download-clicks/exit clicks which could be used similar to custom link tracking. that would allow to setup the rule just as we do with all the other rules ....

    As a followup, I just retested this.... and it is still a problem. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether the "subsequent" beacons are s.t() or s.tl()... my global variables only get set on my initial rule.

    Thanks for posting this idea. I have added this request to our analytics roadmap.
