Why doesn't the Google Ads API support filtering ad_group_criterion.quality_info.post_click_quality_score by UNSPECIFIED?

[Nelson Brochado]

Hi.

The documentation for v12 says that the UNSPECIFIED option is available for the ad_group_criterion.quality_info.post_click_quality_score metric. In fact, I've made a request with the GADs API, which returns a report where this column contains the UNSPECIFIED value. However, if I try to create a query where I try to filter out rows where this metric is equal to UNSPECIFIED, I get an error:

"Filtering by \'UNSPECIFIED\' is not supported."

The query builder also doesn't allow us to filter by UNSPECIFIED.

Why is that? Why can't results be filter by UNSPECIFIED? It doesn't seem to me that there would be any problem to filter by UNSPECIFIED, but maybe this is not supported (yet?) because of an implementation challenge/issue? Will this be supported in the future?

Thanks.

Hi Nelson,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API team. I hope you are doing well today.

To further investigate this issue, could you please provide the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end?  If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link. I ask this so our team further investigates your concern and provides specific recommendations on the issue.

I think you provided an answer to another question here: https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-api/c/eLhowu16x3s. I still need to provide an answer (request and response) to you there. So, could you please answer this new question?
