CAMPAIGN_BIDDING_STRATEGY_CANNOT_BE_OVERRIDDEN

[David Antunes]

Hi,

I'm trying to copy an AdGroup, inside the same campaign, and I use the same BiddingStrategyConfiguration.

When I try to create the new AdGroup, I get a BiddingErrors.CAMPAIGN_BIDDING_STRATEGY_CANNOT_BE_OVERRIDDEN error from adwords.

FieldPath: 'operations[0].operand.biddingStrategyConfiguration.biddingStrategyType'; 

ApiErrorType: 'operations[0].operand.biddingStrategyConfiguration.biddingStrategyType'; 

Trigger: 'MANUAL_CPC'

My question is: since this is the same exact BiddingStrategyConfiguration as another adgroup already has inside the same exact campaign, shouldn't it work?

Many thanks!

David

Hi David,

Could you confirm if the campaign where you are creating the ad group already has a bidding strategy defined in it? If yes, then I'm afraid that setting bidding stragtegies from a lower level is no longer supported as of version 201705 of the AdWords API. For more information regarding the said change, you may refer to this section of the bidding strategy guide.

However, if what I mentioned is not the scenario, you may reply via Reply privately to author and send to me the generated SOAP request and response so I can further investigate.

Best regards,
Peter
