I was having the same issue. The instructions are outdated.

When setting up the property:

1. Click Show Advanced Options
2. Click the slider at right to Turn on Create a Universal Analytics property
3. Enter site URL
4. Select Create a Universal Analytics property only

Then proceed as normal and you will get the old version of the script tag.

Details page.

What happened to my Tracking ID?

Google Analytics 4 properties use a Measurement ID instead of a Tracking ID.

• If you set up a Google Analytics 4 property with a Web data stream, you have a Measurement ID (which begins with "G-").
• If you set up a Universal Analytics ("Web") property (Universal Analytics properties have views instead of data streams), you have a Tracking ID (which begins with "UA-").
