Batch create callout_asset and campaign_assets

[Antony Kyalo Musyoki]

Hello,

I am looking to use a batch process in python to create campaigns using the Google Ads API. 

I want to create callout_assets to be attached to the campaigns through campaign_assets. I am running into a problem where I am unable to assign a resource_name to the callout_asset which can latter be used to attach the callout_asset to a campaign_asset. 

Any ideas how I can solution for this. 

Code extract for the section I am getting error in is below

def build_campaign_callout_assets(client, campaign_operation):
    calloutstext = ['callout #1', 'callout #2', 'callout #3', 'callout #4']
    return [
        build_campaign_callout_asset(client, campaign_operation, callouttext)
        for callouttext in calloutstext
    ]

def build_campaign_callout_asset(client, callouttext):
    asset_operation = client.get_type("AssetOperation")
    asset = asset_operation.create.callout_asset
    asset.callout_text = callouttext
    asset.resource_name = callouttext <============ AttributeError: Protocol message CalloutAsset has no "resource_name" field.

    return asset_operation

def build_campaign_assets(client, campaign_operations, asset_operations):
    return [
        build_campaign_asset(client, campaign_operation, asset_operation)
        for campaign_operation in campaign_operations
            for asset_operation in asset_operations
    ]

def build_campaign_asset(client, campaign_operation,  asset_operation ):
    campaign_asset_operation = client.get_type("CampaignAssetOperation")
    campaign_asset = campaign_asset_operation.create
    campaign_asset.asset =  asset_operation .create.resource_name    <===== LOOKING TO USE THE RESOUSE NAME HERE
    campaign_asset.field_type = client.enums.AssetFieldTypeEnum.CALLOUT
    campaign_asset.campaign = campaign_operation.create.resource_name

    return campaign_asset_operation

Hello,

Thank you for providing me information on the python sample for campaign batch creation.

I actually started off working with that sample and have been modifying it to customize to our goals.

I have run into  a specific problem where the callout_asset does not look to have a resource_name property which is how I would attach it to a campaign_asset and wanted to know if you have suggestions on how I can accomplish this?
