Hi Declan, For the adServingOptimizationStatus <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/CampaignService.Campaign#adservingoptimizationstatus> field, this will default to OPTIMIZE and not null based on that link under CONVERSION_OPTIMIZE. It says on the guide that "If the campaign is not in the conversion optimizer bidding strategy, it will default to OPTIMIZED.". You are correct that manually setting this will generate the CANNOT_SET_AD_ROTATION_MODE error in v201710, however, without setting this, the default value will be OPTIMIZE. This is the result on my testing.

I just set the status directly to REMOVE and there were no errors in my request. However, since your scenario is different than mine, can you provide to me the SOAP request and response logs for both of your create and update campaign requests?
