Add Location Campaign Extension Setting to campaing level

[Vedran Presečki]

Hi, 

Location Campaign Setting can be added on account level and on campaing.

How can we add it to the campaing via API?

Tried with CampaignExtensionSettingService and errors are:

EXTENSION_SETTING_UPDATE_IS_A_NOOP

  message: "The UPDATE operation does not specify any fields other than the resource name in the update mask."

I'm not even calling update action... I'm calling create operation...

Hi Vedran,

Thanks for reaching out. Have you followed the Add an Extension Setting guide? This takes you through the process of creating the extension feed item and then associating it with an entity. 

If you continue to face this issue, please provide us with the complete request and response logs.

Hi Matt,

thank you for the answer.

Add an Extension Setting guide does not have one example of Location extension. However I did follow it and instead of Sitelinks like in the example I tried to create Location extension.

With the same exact services and approach as in the guide provided we are recieving "CONCRETE_EXTENSION_TYPE_REQUIRED" error.

This happens by just trying to create Extension Feed Item, we can't even get to the point of linking him with the campaing itself.

Again, this happens with Location type.

Hi Vedran,

Thank you for your follow up. I'm also from the Google Ads API Support team and allow me to assist you as well.

Since you wish to implement locations extensions, you can refer to this guide instead. As for the other extension types, these are already deprecated. You may start using asset based extensions instead, in the event that you are planning to work on these other extension types.

Hi Peter, 

thank you for the answer. 

Great that you mentioned that guide because that was my first approach and the reason I raised the question. Following this guide about location extensions that you mentioned we get an error:

EXTENSION_SETTING_UPDATE_IS_A_NOOP when trying to add location extension to campaign. (this is the issue decribed in my initial/first post).

So I have existing locations on the account level, I've got their resource names and everything, but how do we link them on the campaign?

We already switched to assets, but assets do not have locations, or am I wrong?

KR,

Hi Vedran,

That's correct that location extensions are not asset based at the moment. Can you please provide us with the complete request and response logs for this error?

Thanks,
