Hello Robert, There was an interesting discussion here amongst my teammates, so I'll give you the summary. The UI was simplified because from the perspective of a UI user, paused and removed will give them the same functionality. That's why you don't see this kind of functionality in the UI for this feature. The UI will still render the paused state if it was set through the API. So, there is a situation where if you have it set to 'target and bid' with a paused state and then change it to 'bid only', you can have that paused state still. So, the good news is that there isn't a validation issue. It's just that the UI was simplified, which doesn't allow fine-tuning in that other state. I hope that clears things up!
