updateCriteria - minCPC and status

[Tomer]

Hi,

[The following Quote was taken from
http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/adwords_api_services.html]
"When you send an addCriteria or updateCriteria request to add or
update keywords, the Google Ad Server sets the minCpc fields for the
added or updated keywords and sends them back in the response"

The method updateCriteria() returns void, so I would expect the
Criterion Objects passed in the Criterion[] parameter to be updated
after the method returns (to reflect the new state)
However they are not.
This means that in order to know the minCpc and status of a keyword
after updating it a getCriteria() is required.

Can anyone confirm this behaviour or has a way to resolve it ?

Thanks

Tomer,
I can confirm this same situation. Many times I am updating large
groups of keywords at a time and would love to get the status and
mincpc's back in the response. However, on success the updateCriteria
service always returns void like you said. I am going to forward this
thread along to the API support team, maybe this can get included in a
future release.

Hi Tomer,

This was a bug in the docs, which has since been corrected.
updateCriteria() is designed to return void on success. However, I've
made a note that this would be a useful feature for you guys, and will
pass along the suggestion to my product manager.
