Hi, for our service it's also a problem that the API does not allow the addition of product extensions to campaigns. Without this ability it is not possible to automatically set up PLA campaigns.
Since it is possible to create product ads and product criteria, wouldn't it make sense to also add product extensions to campaigns? I would highly appreciate it if this feature request is forwarded to the API developers. Thanks for your support!
