Upgraded sitelink feeds final url

[Anil]

Hello,

According to https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/placeholders#sitelinks there are only 7 placeholders available in Sitelink Feed. 

API Documentation says Final URL should be linked with placeholder 5 and it seems correct when we check for our clients.

But we have one client where Final url comes under Placeholder 8. While changing final url through through API we have applied Final url with placeholder 5 still next time it comes under placeholder 8.

Is there any issues?

Thanks

Hi,

An important distinction with feeds is between two fields on AttributeFieldMapping:

1. fieldId - The placeholder field ID that maps to the values on the Feed Placeholders page. This field ID does not appear on individual FeedItemAttributeValues.
2. feedAttributeId - The ID of the field as it will appear on FeedItemAttributeValues, e.g., on individual FeedItems. This ID is automatically generated by AdWords, and may not be the same as the fieldId above.
   

So when you are looking at an individual FeedItem, you should not assume that the feedAttributeId will be one of the values on the Feed Placeholders page. In order to determine which placeholder field ID (fieldId) corresponds to a feedAttributeId for a given Feed, you need to look at the FeedMapping.attributeFieldMappings for the feedId and placeholderType.

Hope that clears things up.

Cheers,
