Hello,

I'm working on a tool to build display campaigns with predefined settings. My campaigns have a biddingStrategyType of TARGET_CPA. When I try to push this directly, it tells me I need a biddingScheme as well with a targetCpa amount (it doesn't prompt me to do this with my TARGET_SPEND campaigns)

No matter what amount I put for targetCpa (I know the amounts are in millionths), it gives me the error BiddingErrors.BID_TOO_SMALL. I've tried ludicrous amounts in the trillions, empty strings, etc., and it still throws this error. If I remove the targetCpa field, then I get the error that says the field is required, so I know it's not a syntactical issue with my operations dictionary.

Any idea how to solve this?
