probably bug around Campaign > advertisingChannelSubType > DISPLAY_MOBILE_APP

[Berry Tsakala]

i'm trying to 'ADD'  new campaign with specific subtype.
this feature was added to v201409, and is documented here

I want specifically:  DISPLAY_MOBILE_APP

                    'operator': 'ADD',
                    'operand': {
                        'name': 'eshkolit', 
                        'status': 'ENABLED',
                        'advertisingChannelType': 'DISPLAY',     
                        'advertisingChannelSubType': 'DISPLAY_MOBILE_APP',
                        (... more settings...)
                   }

The operation runs without an error. 
Even when I select the campaign via API, I get good results:

(Campaign){
   id = 210402425
   name = "eshkolit"
   status = "PAUSED"
   servingStatus = "SERVING"
   settings[] =
      (GeoTargetTypeSetting){
         Setting.Type = "GeoTargetTypeSetting"
         positiveGeoTargetType = "DONT_CARE"
         negativeGeoTargetType = "DONT_CARE"
      },
   advertisingChannelType = "DISPLAY"
   advertisingChannelSubType = "DISPLAY_MOBILE_APP"


However, what I see in the UI is this
Left side:    the output of the above code,  showing  campaign-id=210402425
Right side:  a correctly configured (manual, not via API) campaign id = 210070745

also, displaying these campaigns via an API selector doesn't return subtype value --- but for the CORRECT campagin.  the INcorrect campaign returns the value I previously entered from the API.

BTW,
I downloaded now API code from github, just to make sure,  and the problem is still there.

Hi Berry,

I'm not sure I understand the issue. Were your original mail missing a screenshot?

i attached in the 2nd post, it's the google-group software hid it accidentally

i attache it again; here's the screenshot link:  https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/--WHTjNeXS4o/VFY520DXJII/AAAAAAAAAJw/TLb_ucCBPgU/s1600/bug.jpg

to recreate the bug,
just try to set its subtype as i did,
and then look in the web interface, at the campaign type & subtype area.

Hi Berry,

The campaign subtype field in AdWords API is not the same as campaign subtype in the UI. Currently, there is no way to set the campaign subtype as you see in the UI, through the API.
