Hello,

If one access accounts  for an account label via label.accounts it returns an empty iterator for all account labels even if the label has been applied to accounts in the UI.

This seems to affect some accounts and not others.

Example in the account 239-565-4805, script named 'Tempur_Anomaly Alert_Version 2.1'.

Thanks,
Tom

Hello,

Edit - this is in the new experience only

It looks like the issue is that the script can only identify account labels if the user logs into the same manager account as they create the label. If they login at a higher manager account (which is very common in agencies where accounts will typically be grouped into one manager account) and then traverse down to a sub-manager the script won't be aware of all account labels.

I believe this is a recurrence of a bug which occurred a few years ago (exactly the same thing in the old experience) so hopefully a quick fix.

It would be great to get an ETA.

Thanks,

Tom

Hello Tom,

I’m James, also a member of the Google Ads scripts support team. Allow me to assist you further.

Can you please share some screenshots that show the issue on your end so that we can have a clear understanding of your concern? You may also include the UI screenshot so that we can compare it with the output of your scripts which can help in our investigations.

Hi James,

Sure, attached an image of the logs showing the labels are not attached to any accounts and an image showing  the UI. I'm sure if this gets to the right person it will give them enough info to recreate the issue.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Teejay and James,

Hope you are both well.

Do you have an ETA for this? It is causing a lot of issues where scripts fail and users waste a lot of time trying to find out why.

Thanks,

Tom

Hey,

Could we get an ETA for this? The bug makes scripts much less useful for large accounts.

Thanks,

Tom
