Hi Tim, This is a common question, and the good news is that you don't need to send in the keyword text or match type when you are updating the bid, etc. The trick is that when you are creating your updated AdGroupCriterion, set the criterion field to an instance of the base type Criterion, which only has an id field. If you use the Keyword or Placement types then the server will validate that all the required fields have values (like text and matchType).
