Hi,

I've stumbled upon a case where a specific Youtube exclusion (a Criterion object of type "YOUTUBE_CHANNEL" as returned by the CustomerNegativeCriterionService) did not have its channelId nor its channelName field set.

If it helps, the ID of that specific criterion is 295325090879.

I was wondering if this is expected behavior, or if something is off with that exclusion / YT channel?

Thanks for any feedback & best regards,

Dorian

In case anyone stubles across this thread, the described behavior is expected and caused by a change in Youtube data retention policy: https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2019/10/video-and-channel-ids-change-in-adwords.html
