RequiredError.REQUIRED @ operations[0].operand.biddingStrategyConfiguration

[PS]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a shopping campaign with bidding strategy type ROAS and am getting this error when I try to add all products to the Ad Group. See my code below. Please let me know what I missed.

Thanks

Prashant
