There should be a setting in the new launch to be able to track s.products without going to the custom code to build the product string.

Kind of like how the old GTM had a checkbox to enable e-commerce tracking and it would just read the dataLayer Enhanced Ecommerce (UA) Developer Guide | Google Tag Manager for Web Tracking | Google Developers

Can you also recommend to them to get rid of / deprecate s.products? It's so....old, and not good anymore. It's sad to see Adobe Analytics advancing in so many ways, but still stuck on this old stuff. Have a new variable that is an array of objects. Heck, that thing can still populate the products variable for all I care, but make it easier to set values. They tease us with mention of the "productList" variable in AppMeasurement, but it doesn't do anything.

Ultimately, this is a request for the Analytics team since they own their extension. But we have taken the liberty of creating a ticket for them and assigning it to a human =)

Oh - much pain, my friend. The format of the products string is an absolute nightmare.

Worst case, they could make it possible to set the value in the action configuration and then we could do the heavy lifting from a data element definition. A "format product string" action would be better, but making that general purpose and configurable might pose a challenge.

So does this idea not what you guys are looking for? Am I the only one who has an e-commerce site and not see the pain of building the product string -_-
