Problem with adgroupBidModifier - Get a value but when trying to use opreation set get exception No existing bid modifier for AdGroupId

[avi...@sem-engine.com]

Hi.

I am facing with a weird problem with bid modifier for adgroup.

When i am getting it from adwords service(Using the AdGroupBidModifierServiceInterface) I get that the bid modifier is 1.0 and not NULL.

When i am tyring to use opreation SET to the bid i get this error:

 <faultstring>[EntityNotFound.INVALID_ID @ operations[0].operand.criterion; trigger:'No existing bid modifier for AdGroupId:{###} CriterionId{id=30001}']</faultstring>

Does anyone can help me here?

Thanks

Hello Aviad,

1.0 is equivalent to not bid adjustment (times 1). Please use ADD operation to set the adjustment in this case.

I create a adgroup but I don't know why it has a default mobile bid modifier  -22%.  I can get this result from search, if I found. It said. No existing bid modifier.
