{loc_interest_ms} returning blank values

[Charles]

Hi, I'm using the valuetrack {loc_interest_ms} variable to capture the locationID on clickthrough, however it seems all clicks that I am receiving from surfers are returning a blank value for {loc_interest_ms}. 

Sample FinalURL: https://www.domain.com/entry/{loc_interest_ms}.shtml?source=GoogleAds

Sample TrackingTemplate (Adgroup Level): {lpurl}&group=GroupName&key={KeyWord}&device={device}&kid={targetid}

The hits I'm seeing in my server logs however have no {loc_interest_ms} values: 

https://www.domain.com/entry/.shtml?source=GoogleAds&group=GroupName&key=ActualKeyword1&device=c&kid=kwd-12345678 

https://www.domain.com/entry/.shtml?source=GoogleAds&group=GroupName&key=ActualKeyword2&device=m&kid=kwd-01234567

Why are these locationids all blank? I rely on these ids to run reports in my scripts and can't run them without the ids being provided? All other valuetrack variables are working correctly. I am targeting hundreds of locations in my campaign settings so I don't see why they are blank? 

Thank you

I've also tried removing the tracking template and using just a finalurl, same result, the {loc_interest_ms} value seems to always be blank. The FinalURL is defined at the Ads level.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for posting your concern.

I understand that you will use the location IDs to run reports using the Google Ads scripts; however, your question is more product related and this is out of my expertise already. With this, you may reach out to the Google Ads product team via ? icon> Get help option of your Google Ads account as they are more equipped to provide support to your concern.
