Hello,

I'm wondering if FeedItemAdGroupTarget can be used to target multiple ad groups per feed item. I.e., I have a feed item that I want multiple ad groups to use. The documentation seems to imply this is possible:
Starting in v201802, you can use FeedItemTargetService to restrict individual feed items to only target specific campaigns, ad groups, or criteria.

However when actually attempting to set this up I get a FeedItemTargetError.TARGET_LIMIT_EXCEEDED_FOR_GIVEN_TYPE error. So I'm assuming this is not possible, but I cannot find a definitive answer in the documentation and any additional clarity would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance,
- Jon

Hi Jon,

I was able to replicate the TARGET_LIMIT_EXCEEDED_FOR_GIVEN_TYPE error in my test account when I tried to add a new FeedItemAdGroupTarget to an existing feed item to multiple ad groups. I can confirm that this is not possible via the AdWords UI and API. If you'll check your specific feed item in the AdWords UI, you also cannot add multiple target entities (e.g. ad groups) per feed item. You can only select one target entity per feed item.

Let me know if you have further clarifications.

Thanks,
Vincent
