Thanks for the clarification, David. That's a real bummer it's not available elsewhere. We could definitely use it in some of those other reports (e.g. keyword, criterion, search, and url performance reports).
Unfortunately, even though the best practices guide ( https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bestpractices#rename_delete) claims that ConversionTrackers are required to have unique names within an account, and even though if you try to create/rename a conversion tracker in the AdWords UI, it seems to enforce that rule, we have run across a client account where that is not true. They have two different conversion trackers (both imported Google Analytics goals) that have identical names, so the only way to tell them apart is by the id. But, since the performance reports that we use the most (keyword, criterion, search, url) don't have this id, we can't differentiate between the conversion types and accurately see what is happening in the campaigns. This may be a bug in AdWords that it created duplicate names for the conversion trackers (you can't edit the name it uses for imported GA goals)? Regardless, without the conversion tracker id in the reports, we can't match up conversion data correctly.
