Hello 

since this morning I am not able to assign hotels to adGroups.
I get message : 
Google Ads failure details:
        ad_group_criterion_error: Subdivided listing groups must have an "others" case.
        field_error: The required field was not present in the resource.


Same with examples/HotelAds/AddHotelListingGroupTree.php is not working anymore and gives the same error.

thanks

Hello

the difference is on my side
it is working well on percent CPC campaign.
The error occurs on Manual CPC campaigns
is there any restriction on Manual CPC ?

thanks

Hello Didier,

The "others" node is always required for every level of the tree. Please make sure you are adding others node at each level to form a complete tree.

You should be able to create the hotel campaign with manual CPC bidding strategy and I was able to test it in my environment. In the code snippet shown here change the PercentCpc to ManualCPC with enhancedCPCenabled field to false and can remove the cpcBidCeilingMicroAmount as they are not required for ManualCpc strategy. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any further questions.

If you are still facing any issues please share the entire logs by enabling logging to DEBUG as mentioned here. You could use reply privately to the author option while sharing the information requested.
