Google Ads API: "campaign.manual_cpc.enhanced_cpc_enabled.value = False" does not work

[Mat]

Hi,

this code works as expected:

customer_id = REDACTED
campaign_id = REDACTED


campaign_service = google_ads_client.get_service('CampaignService', version='v1')
campaign_operation = google_ads_client.get_type('CampaignOperation', version='v1')
campaign = campaign_operation.update
campaign.resource_name = campaign_service.campaign_path(
      customer_id, campaign_id)
campaign.manual_cpc.enhanced_cpc_enabled.value = True
fm = protobuf_helpers.field_mask(None, campaign)
campaign_operation.update_mask.CopyFrom(fm)
campaign_response = campaign_service.mutate_campaigns(
          customer_id, [campaign_operation])

Result: The campaigns bid strategy is set to manual_cpc and the enhanced_cpc is enabled.

But if I try to set enhanced_cpc to false, nothing happens:

customer_id = REDACTED
campaign_id = REDACTED


campaign_service = google_ads_client.get_service('CampaignService', version='v1')
campaign_operation = google_ads_client.get_type('CampaignOperation', version='v1')
campaign = campaign_operation.update
campaign.resource_name = campaign_service.campaign_path(
      customer_id, campaign_id)
campaign.manual_cpc.enhanced_cpc_enabled.value = False
fm = protobuf_helpers.field_mask(None, campaign)
campaign_operation.update_mask.CopyFrom(fm)
campaign_response = campaign_service.mutate_campaigns(
          customer_id, [campaign_operation])

Despite of not getting any errors, when I check the settings in the Google Ads UI, the enhanced_cpc is still enabled.

Would you mind looking into it?

Hi Mat, 

The Bidding strategy type will be Manual CPC. The enhanced_cpc_enabled value is to check if the conversions can be increased with Enhanced CPC. Please find the attached UI screenshot as a reference. 

Thanks,

Hi Bharani,

yes, that's what it should do. 

But my point is, that while

campaign.manual_cpc.enhanced_cpc_enabled.value = True

does work as expected,

campaign.manual_cpc.enhanced_cpc_enabled.value = False

does not work: The enhanced CPC stays checked (although I don't receive any error messages).

Hi Mat, 

I was able to test this on my end and this is working as expected. Could you please share the specific campaign Ids along with the request and response logs to check this further? You may share the details privately via Reply privately to author option.
