Hi Justin, as you suspected, you'll have to update every adParam for every keyword criterion in the concerned ad group, I do not believe that there is any other way to achieve what you want. What makes matters worse is that AdParamOperation mutate operations are not supported by the BulkMutateJobService, so you'll be restricted to a few hundred keywords per call to AdParamService.mutate... Like yourself, I don't really see a use case where one would want to set different ad params according to keyword criteria — to me it would make more sense to be able to set ad params on a TextAd level, or for a whole ad group at once.
