How to track Google chrome extension (UA-XXXX) with GA4 ID

I have a new Google Chrome extension, that i want to track using the built-in Google analytics tracking. My Chrome extension dashboard has a field for "Google analytics ID", (UA-XXXX) however I can only create new Google Analytics properties using the new Google Analytics 4 (GA4) type, which uses a different Google analytics ID format (G-XXXX)

What do i put into the Google Chrome extension "Google analyics ID" fiekd (UA-XXXXXX) to track it with my GA4 property?

it is still possible to create 2 properties (for old analytics and for GA4) but 'google analytics tracking ID' for GA4 contains only digits, no UA at all. in the question G-XXXX format is mentioned, this format corresponds to 'measurement ID' not to 'google analytics tracking ID'. and I believe it's not the same at all. so for GA4 there are 2 IDs (both without UA) and it's still not clear which one we have to put in "Google analytics ID"...

You cant. If the tracker was designed to work with UA analytics you need a UA-XXXX property id to track data with it.

You need to find one that is designed to work with GA4 and accepts a G-XXXX code.
