CANNOT CREATE TEST CLIENT ACCOUNT

[Augustine Nkansah]

Hello,

When I am logged into my Google Ads account as a test MCC account and trying to create a test client account, I get a warning saying that I need to link a real existing account first, which needs to be the following:

"This needs to be a Google Ads account that
has spent more than $1,000
has a history of policy compliance."

Is this for real? Do I need to connect my test account to a real-quality account in order to create a new test account? Or is this an error or bug? Please advise.

Once again, the steps to reproduce this issue are the following:

1) I go and create a new Google Ads Test Manager/MCC Account (by following instructions from here: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/best-practices/test-accounts)

2) The Test Manager is being successfully created

3) After that I'm trying to add a new Test Client Account (by clicking  Accounts >  Create new account ) - and after that I see a message ssaying I cannot create it. Please advise.

Here's a screenshot for better understanding of what we're trying to achieve
