Campaign addLocation failing with INCONSISTENT_FIELD_VALUES

[Noah Pluimers]

Hi,

We are trying to update our scripts to the new Google Ads Scripts, and are having trouble assigning locations to our campaign by code

For example:

      var result = campaign.addLocation({
        id: 9064172
      });
      if(!result.isSuccessful()) {
        Logger.log('ERROR adding '+ 9063927 +' : ' + result.getErrors().join(', '));
      }

Results in the following error:

ERROR adding 9064172 : The field's contents don't match another field that represents the same data. ({"errorCode":{"mutateError":"INCONSISTENT_FIELD_VALUES"},"message":"The field's contents don't match another field that represents the same data.","location":{"fieldPathElements":[{"fieldName":"mutate_operations","index":0},{"fieldName":"campaign_criterion_operation"},{"fieldName":"create"},{"fieldName":"resource_name"}]}})

Anybody see this error before?

Thanks, and kind regards,

Noah Pluimers

Hi Noah,

I'm not from the official Google Ads Scripts Support team, but there are multiple methods for adding a location. Maybe you can try one of the other ones?
See https://developers.google.com/google-ads/scripts/docs/reference/adsapp/adsapp_campaign#addLocation_1

See the example code below:

--------------

function main() {

    var campaign = AdsApp
        .campaigns()
        .withIds([980722014])
        .get()
        .next();

    campaign.addLocation(1010543, 1.15);
}

------------

• 1010543 = Amsterdam
• The 1.15 = bid modifier (in this case 15%)

Good luck!

Hi Martijn,

Thanks for your reply! We have tried a number of these functions, and then noticed this https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-scripts/c/WK3GouFU7EU/m/rxkjf8cyDAAJ message in these boards. After reading this we tried running a 'execute' task on our script, and that all worked without errors!

Thanks for the help!

Ah yes, that's a bug indeed in Google Ads Scripts: previewing results in an error, but executing the script works fine.

Maybe the Google Ads Scripts Team can bump this one in their backlog 😇?

Reposting the last inquiry (https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-scripts/c/efI4lkucZuc) from the forum as it wasn't routed to our support queue.

Just circling back here, could you please confirm if you are still encountering this error? I believe that the issue INCONSISTENT_FIELD_VALUES with regard to the addLocation function has been fixed. If you are still encountering an issue on your end, kindly provide the following information so we can further investigate and assist you accordingly:

• Google Ads account ID or CID
