Cannot properly create FeedItemAdGroupTarget in bulk upload with negative reference keys (PHP v201806)

[Bryan]

Hi, I have been working on upgrading existing working code to the latest PHP API library (v201806), and a part of this development work is dealing with creating FeedItemAdGroupTarget's for new ad groups that I am uploading. When using a negative reference key on the FeedItemAdGroupTarget for both the feedItemId and the adGroupId, it looks like the FeedItem gets created but without any targeting. The order in the bulk upload is Ad Group > FeedItem > FeedItemAdGroupTarget. Please let me know what other information you may need to help.

Thanks

Hi Bryan,

Could you tell if you are encountering any errors when running the FeedItemTargetService? Also, could you clarify if you are using the BatchJobService for this operation? If so, to better investigate your issue, could you provide your batch job ids as well as your clientCusttomerId? 

If not, could you provide the complete SOAP request and response logs when you encountered the error? Please reply via Reply privately to author.

Thanks and regards,

Luis
