The gclid attribution update in #306 is not considering the campaign value of (organic). "(organic)" is the value I'm seeing in my GA4 datasets
Medium and Source are cleanly updated, but without adding one more line to change (organic) to (cpc), the attribution for the newly recategorized data retains the campaign value of "(organic)" while the source and medium are updated to "cpc". I was able to resolve the issue by adding one line of code to stg_ga4__events.sql
Can someone confirm if they're seeing the same mis-attributed values for (organic) in their datasets with the merged-but-not-yet-published update?

Currently:
detect_gclid as (
select
* except (event_source, event_medium, event_campaign),
case
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_source is null) then "google"
else event_source
end as event_source,
case
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_medium is null) then "cpc"
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_medium = 'organic') then "cpc"
else event_medium
end as event_medium,
case
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_campaign is null) then "(cpc)"
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_campaign = 'organic') then "(cpc)"
else event_campaign
end as event_campaign
from include_event_key
),
Proposed update includes one new line in the campaign-related case statement:
detect_gclid as (
select
* except (event_source, event_medium, event_campaign),
case
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_source is null) then "google"
else event_source
end as event_source,
case
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_medium is null) then "cpc"
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_medium = 'organic') then "cpc"
else event_medium
end as event_medium,
case
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_campaign is null) then "(cpc)"
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_campaign = 'organic') then "(cpc)"
when (page_location like '%gclid%' and event_campaign = '(organic)') then "(cpc)"
else event_campaign
end as event_campaign
from include_event_key
),
Thanks. I just merged your PR https://github.com/Velir/dbt-ga4/pull/315 which should resolve this. I haven't seen it myself, but your screenshot seems like sufficient proof and it's a harmless check to add.
