In my code, I'm creating a new TemplateAd and then setting it with the same fields (just changing the destination URL) from another TemplateAd. For some reason, it's throwing an exception on a "videoId" field which isn't even in the original TemplateAd. Is this field a requirement (even if it's an old TemplateAd that doesn't even contain the field)? How do I set the videoId if I don't even know what it is?
