New INVALID_FIELD_NAME_FOR_REPORT error on old report

[joel]

Today an Account Performance Report that we've been running for a long time started failing with ReportDefinitionError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME_FOR_REPORT against API v201809.

We only select a few columns from this report: AccountDescriptiveName, Conversions, ConversionTypeName, ConversionValue, ConversionRate, HourOfDay

According to the error message below, it's due to the combination of ConversionTypeName and ConversionRate. Since ConversionRate is a metric, why can't we use this with a segment column? Also it looks like the report documentation doesn't mention this conflict (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/account-performance-report#conversiontypename)

It looks like maybe this is a bug in the API and this should still be allowed? Thanks for looking,

Joel

Hi Joel,

Thank you for reaching out. The ConversionTypeName is not compatible with this list of fields under the "Not compatible with the following fields" section. Please use the fields that are compatible with the ConversionTypeName field.

Thanks and regards,
