Hey guys, I've found a script that allows you to select a campaign and copy it's list (excluded placement & negative keywords) & apply them to selected campaigns. I haven't been unable to alter the script to work for settings (targeting, excluded targeting, ad schedule, and devices). Does anyone know if there's already a script that exist? If not, would someone mind looking over the script I'm working off of & suggesting a fix. I've reached out to the author of the script but never heard back. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Quinton,

Could you confirm if what you want for your script is to copy the setting of targetingexcluded targetingad schedule, and devices and apply them to another campaign? If yes, I'm afraid that there is currently no available script yet for this kind of requirements. Also, since you were updating the logic of the third-party script, it's best to continue the contact to the author of the said script. 

However, to help you modify the third-party script, you may refer to this link to see all the available sample scripts to get and add targeting in your campaigns.

Hi Joyce, thanks for responding and yes that was my goal. My company builds out new campaigns dynamically on the backend via inventory, but when they are built out they are just a shell and missing settings and extensions. I was just trying to figure out a script that would allow me to copy targetingexcluded targetingad schedule, and devices from an existing campaign & apply them to the newly built campaign.

Hi Quinton,

I will provide support to you on behalf of Joyce. Thank you for confirming your concern. You may continue to contact the author of the third-party script to get support on the possible changes on the logic. You may also utilize the sample scripts on the link that we provided to get and add targeting in your campaigns.
