The problem to solve

We like to test Google Tag Manager configurations in our dev/test environments (in conjunction with a GTM test container and test GA Property) prior to implementing in our production site.

Currently enabling Google Fields via the seoGoogleFields: true directive enables the fields becoming available in the Global menu option, meaning that they are stored in the database. Any synching of the database between environments will overwrite alternate configs in the target environment, risking polluting production analytics with development data (when the production IDs get used in a dev setting), and require a manual intervention to update with the correct IDs.

Proposed solution

Providing overrides in the local.js, a la baseURL and similar settings, to configure the appropriate Google IDs rather then using manually configured settings via the Admin menu tab.

Alternatives

Manual maintenance of environments.
