Callback function no longer has access to all accounts

[Thomas Dean]

Hello,

Hope you are well.

It seems to me like when using the new Google Ads scripts experience the callback function (run after parallel processing) is run as the last standard account (rather than the manager account) and so now only has access to that account (rather than to all of the standard accounts).

Is this intentional? Will it be reversed?

Illustrative script at 118-100-2255 called 'unexpected-behaviour-illustration' in case that helps.

Cheers,

Tom

Hi James,

Thanks for your swift reply.

The callback function is the function run after the accounts are run in parallel. Previously this function was run as is the manager account where the script is being run was the selected account; now it is run as if the final account to be run was the selected account.

It seems like a pretty simple bug - sometimes which account is selected when the callback is run would not make any difference and I imagine that is why it evaded your testing.

I've attached a script which shows the behaviour and included a screenshot of the script and the logs below.

Cheers!

Hello Thomas,

I received an update from the team and would like to inform you that we already fixed the issue with the ExecuteInParallel callback function. However, it may take a couple weeks for the fix to reach or be implemented in production. That said, we appreciate your continued patience on this and we would recommend to keep an eye on our blog for any update on this.
