Generating Forecast Metrics Returns "-1" For keyword_plan_campaign in "Campaign_Forecasts"

[Michael Leone]

Hello,

I'm trying to utilize the generate_forecast_metrics function under the keywordPlanService via python and it's returning inconsistent results. I create a keyword_plan, added it to a created keyword_plan_campaign and ad_group and tried generating the metrics following the instructions here. However, under the "metrics.campaign_forecasts" it provides a "-1" for the "keyword_plan_campaign" associated with it. Also the data is inconsistent with what is appearing in the UI. Not entirely sure why this is happening, or if I missed something..

I attached the request and response details to this message.
