AdwordsUserListService : CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED

[Debashis Pradhan]

I am facing an issue while creating a customer audience list using Adwords API. I get the response error as CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED.

According to the documentation, Concrete type of user list (logical v.s. remarketing) is required for ADD and SET operations, but its not clear where I have missed this.

Any resolution or pointers on this error is appreciated.

Fixed by adding the type in operand.

<v20:operand xsi:type="v20:BasicUserList" >

For others reference.
