I think both ways are valid use cases and the cutting off URL parameters are mainly meant for "Actions" and not really conversions. It's almost like a new flag in manage goals but I wouldn't really like to make it even more complicated. Like adding another option "Visit a given URL that has all configured parameters excluded (page or group of pages)". It would need some explanation on hover and I only named it so long so it's clearer what I meant. Maybe there are better ideas

@mattab Can you please let us know how do you see solving this topic? Or maybe current way is fine and no change is needed from your point of view?

For me, @tsteur suggestion to add an option to let the user choose if the URL parameters should be cutted before or after conversion sounds like a solution (unfortunately I don't know if it would be doable and how big change it would be).

We are ready to prepare a PR for the issue according to your suggestion, so it will be merger with Core..

Thank you in advance.

As far as I'm concerned the current way is fine, although it can lead to edge cases of confusion as you describe it in this issue.

It's almost like a new flag in manage goals but I wouldn't really like to make it even more complicated.

Feel the same here, adding a new option to Manage Goals Visit a given URL that has all configured parameters excluded (page or group of pages) seems overkill for this particular edge case...

I'm not sure but maybe a solution would be to create a custom plugin that would define a new Goal Matching type? So that only users who need such advanced Goal matching mechanism would see it in the UI. I guess it's more work to prepare such PR though as this logic in core is not yet changeable by plugin.

Or maybe you/anyone has some better idea?
