Hi Folks,

I ran into a little problem trying to change an existing enhanced sitelink's device preference from "MOBILE" to none using FeedItemDevicePreference. Here is my soap log with request and reply. As I clear out the FeedItemDevicePreference with a null, the results from the "set" operation shows that sitelink's FeedItemDevicePreference is still "MOBILE"

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi Folks,

As of today 9/11, we noticed that we can again remove mobile preference from feeditems. Thank you for fixing this.

We are actually still experiencing this bug today. To change device preference away from MOBILE, we simply set a NULL into the data object, but that still fails to change the preference from MOBILE to NONE.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jay,

Are you still experiencing the issue?

If so, can you please share your latest request/response xml logs that are facing the issue?

Hi Takeshi,

Thanks for taking the time to review our issue. We are still experiencing this today, enclosed is the most recent soaplog from a few minutes ago. Scenario is the same where we have an AdExtension on AdWords with mobile preference checked, and we could not remove it.

Best Regards,
Jay

Hi Jay,

Apologies for responding it late, I'm able to update the devicePreference by sending devicePreference as null.

like this xml.

Or the code snippet for Java is like this.

FeedItem feedItem = new FeedItem();

feedItem.setFeedId(feedId);

feedItem.setFeedItemId(feedItemId);

FeedItemDevicePreference feedItemDevicePreference = new FeedItemDevicePreference();

feedItemDevicePreference.setDevicePreference(null);

feedItem.setDevicePreference(feedItemDevicePreference);

FeedItemOperation operation = new FeedItemOperation();

operation.setOperand(feedItem);

operation.setOperator(Operator.SET);

Can you please try that?

Best,

Hi Takeshi,

Thanks for your help. I was directly setting a null in setDevicePreference() which is wrong. It is working perfectly now.

Best Regards,
Jay
