Hi,

Just wanted to report what I believe to be a bug in the Ad Extension Migration example code.

Under the Create an Asset-based extension section, there is some code that reads:

However, I am able to set neither of these values in the UI:

And save the extension. When I attempt to migrate the Extension using the provided code this throws a Null Reference exception.

Is this expected? It certainly doesn't seem right.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for raising your concern to my team.

Please note that the fields and functionalities of the Google Ads API should also be available in the UI and the reason is, the API only mirror the UI. Since your first concern is on the UI, you may reach out to the product team via this link to help you find the specific fields in the UI.

As for the "code this throws a Null Reference exception", please provide the complete request and response logs with request ID generated on your end where we can see the issue.

If you haven't enabled the logging of the API transactions for the specific client library that you are using, then please refer to the specific guide below:

You can provide it via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.
