[Kevin]

Hi,

We are getting BetaError.BETA_FEATURE when trying to add location campaign criterion. I'm not sure what this means. Any idea?

Hi Kevin,

We are investigating this issue right now, (with no promises) most surely we will have it solved next week.

Hi,

  Is this issue resolved ? Were getting the same error while adding locations to the campaigns.

  FaultString:[BetaError.BETA_FEATURE @ operations[310].operand.criterion; trigger:'1012948', BetaError.BETA_FEATURE @ operations[2297].operand.criterion; trigger:'1013142']

Thanks
Gopi

Hi Gopi,

As mentioned in the doc, targeting universities is a beta feature. 

The criteria of 1012948 and 1013142 seem to be university criteria.

So it's a intended behavior.
