I just updated from 7.x-1.4 to 7.x-2.1 and received this message:

Update #7201
Deleted obsolete custom variables. Custom variables are now custom dimensions and metrics and you need to manually configure them!

A few issues:

  • Looking at a backup of my site, there are no custom variables listed at admin/config/system/googleanalytics. Is 'Deleted obsolete custom variables.' just a boilerplate message, or are there settings somewhere else we need to look at?
  • Before making the upgrade, I looked at release notes for 7.x-2.1, and there is no warning that all of your custom variables will be deleted; please add such a warning so that we can properly prepare for the upgrade!
  • It would be very helpful to include an explanation or good link as to what this means and what steps we need to take.

It's just a message that is shown all times - if used or not.

It is not really upgradable... it requires rethinking what you'd like to collect.
