How to stop account level goal inheritance in campaign specific goals?

[Muhammad Murtza]

I was working on google ads api and created custom goal for my campaign but account level goals also get inherited in my campaign specific goals. Is there a way to prevent this inheritance? Or how to remove account inherited goals from campaign specific goals ?

Based in this document (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/conversions/goals/overview#goal_management_overview) "Conversion goals are organized in a hierarchy. Customer goals define the default goals for your entire account, while campaign goals override the customer goals for campaigns with specific bidding and optimization requirements.".

You may refer to this document (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/conversions/goals/campaign-goals#custom_goals) as it contains the steps on how to assign custom goals to specific campaign using Google Ads API.
