Campaign Service campaignUpdate throws ApiException when ShoppingSetting have merchantId set

[Ronald Findling]

When doing a campaign update requests (`mutate` with `CampaignOperator.SET`) which has shoppingSettings (with `merchantId`) we observe a `com.google.api.ads.adwords.axis.v201806.cm.ApiException` see [1]

In this request we set all mandatory properties (`merchantId`, `salesCountry`, `campaignPriority`)

Leaving out the merchantId however makes the request succeed, request and response see [2] [3].

I can't find documentation why these parameters shouldn't be set in this case:

mutate https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/CampaignService

CampaignOperation SET https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/CampaignService.CampaignOperation

ShoppingSetting https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/CampaignService.ShoppingSetting

We are using com.google.api-ads:adwords-axis:3.15.1

Hi Ronald,

Could you please provide the complete SOAP request and response logs (without redacting any information such as clientCustomerId and the merchantId) using the Reply privately to author option so I can investigate this more?
