CAMPAIGN_SHARED_SET report doesn't have SharedSetId?

[Emmanuel]

Our understanding is the CAMPAIGN_SHARED_SET report details the associations between shared lists and campaigns.

Is there a reason why this report doesn't have the main ID of the shared list SharedListId?  The report has only SharedListName which we can use to retrieve the relevant shared list but it sounds strange that, while all other reports use IDs, this one report relies on a string identifier and not the main shared list ID.

Hi,

Excellent point -- this report really should have the SharedSetId. I'll pass this along to our reporting team.

Thanks,

Thanks Josh.

Are there any timescales roughly when you think the SharedSetId field can be added to CAMPAIGN_SHARED_SET?

We're having lots of issues using SharedListName instead of SharedSetId in AWQL as some strings cause the AWQL query to break.

Hi,

I don't have a timeline just yet, but could you provide an example of a string that causes issues with the AWQL query, along with the query and the error you're encountering?

Thanks,

We managed to fix the issue, thanks.

However, to be consistent with how reporting works in general, it would be great if the SharedSetId is added to this report.

Thanks

Hi,

Glad to hear you were able to resolve the immediate issue. I'll continue to follow up on having the ID field added to the report and will update this post when I have more information to report.

Thanks,
