The new discovery campaigns have an empty AdvertisingChannelType

[Alexander]

According to https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/campaign-performance-report#advertisingchanneltype

the AdvertisingChannelType has one of following values:

Unknown,

Search,

Display,

Shopping,

Video,

Multi Channel.

But the new discovery campaigns have an empty string instead of one of these values. This is unexpected and causes problems for us. Wouldn't it be better to report Unknown instead? But even if you report something new, wouldn't it be better to report "Discovery" instead of an empty string?

Express is also a possible value (which is missing in my first post).
