Which means to do a similar (to AdWords UI) bulk operation on multiple ad groups I would need to at least do two separate BatchJob operations. One after the other. (BatchJob 1, get all. My application validates then send BatchJob 2 to mutate.) The application I am building has to work with upwards of hundreds of ad groups per campaign. The RMF requires me to support extensions on Ad Groups, but in this case it looks like the API support for it is lacking. May I request that this feature be added to the API since it's in the AdWords UI? To make it clear, I am asking for the ability to synchronously perform these operations: - Add extensions to many ad groups - Remove extensions from many ad groups On Monday, 20 March 2017 19:05:00 UTC+8, Ivan Bautista wrote: > > Hi JC, > > Thank you for providing the screenshot.
