INVALID_PRODUCT_DIMENSION_TYPE When Adding CampaignCriterion To A Shopping Campaign

[Pete Lavetsky (AdWords API Guru)]

Hi All,

I am getting a CriterionError.INVALID_PRODUCT_DIMENSION_TYPE when attempting to add any product dimension other than ProductBrand to a ProductScope. After running into the error with my own code I tried with the github samples provided for Shopping Campaigns as located here: 

https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/bbee9d8414c4f93605abd8434519555c89531513/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201809/shoppingcampaigns/AddProductScope.java

Aside from credentials, my code is identical to line 144 -> 192 of the above sample file.

I've attached the entirety of the SOAP request / response aside from credentials here:

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Pete,

The CriterionError.INVALID_PRODUCT_DIMENSION_TYPE error occurred because you were trying to set a ProductCanonicalCondition to your Search campaign (1459829022). Please note that ProductCanonicalCondition is only supported by campaigns of Shopping type.

Best regards,
Peter

Peter,

D'oh! 

I was testing the ProductScope stuff on a Campaign I had previously added under a different context.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, and for the prompt response.

Pete
