Is there any way to globally set a custom dimension value? about matomo-tracker HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi. @LucusWebsites, I'm trying to figure out if this is a specific use-case, where we want to set custom dimensions on initialisation... That would mean we should be consistent and map all tracker object configurations on the initialisation options, that would be hard to maintain. What would be a better idea is perhaps introduce a initInstructions field, that we could use like so:

const instance = createInstance({
    urlBase: process.env.REACT_APP_MATOMO_URL_BASE,
    siteId: process.env.REACT_APP_MATOMO_SITE_ID,
    initInstructions: [{
     name: 'customDimensions',
     args:  [{
        id: 1,
        value: process.env.REACT_APP_VERSION
    }],
    // other instructions
   }]
});

Perhaps this would work for you?

@chrisvanmook Thanks for the quick reply!

And yes that would absolutely work for me as well!
