You say that "As we have auto-migrated image and location extensions to assets, you will not be able to create image extensions in the UI. So, now you can link image assets to customers, campaigns, or ad groups through linkage objects."
An image extension is linked to an ad – not an ad group, campaign or customer. Different ads within the same ad group could have different image extensions. How are these migrated to assets? I understand that they end up as assets, but what do you link them to? Are all images (for different ads) linked to the same ad group?
