Hi,

I think the issue here is that you are specifying the target spend micros as 344, which translates to 344 / 1,000,000 = $0.000344. This value is so small that when the UI shows the rounded value, you see $0.00. However, the underlying value is set:

Query: SELECT campaign.id, campaign.target_spend.target_spend_micros FROM campaign WHERE campaign.id = 2052395459

Result:
    {
      "campaign": {

        "resourceName": "customers/4966318427/campaigns/2052395459",
        "id": "2052395459",

        "targetSpend": {
          "targetSpendMicros": "344"
        }
      }
    }

Values that end in "Micros" should be converted from the currency to micros by multiplying by 1 million, since 1 million micros is equivalent to 1 unit in the account's currency (e.g., $1 for USD). For example, if your intention is to set the value to 3.44 in the account's currency, then you should pass targetSpendMicros of 3440000, since that is 3.44 * 1 million. The same guidelines apply for cpcBidCeilingMicros.
