Hi Mathieu,

Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team.

The error LISTING_GROUP_SUBDIVISION_REQUIRES_OTHERS_CASE indicates that the 'Others' case is missing in the tree. Each subdivision must always be completely partitioned, so it must contain a node representing 'Other' which has an "empty" case_value of the correct type. This child is usually referred to as 'Other' because it represents "all other values" for that ListingDimensionInfo. Please refer to this guide for more information. You may check this java sample code for reference and If you are using another language you can also refer to all available client libraries.

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2om2ZR:ref"

Thanks,

Google Ads API Team
