Hi,

The first answer provided by Sreelakshmi in the forum thread you linked is 
still valid. Since there is still no direct feature that would clone an 
entity (e.g. campaigns, ad groups, etc.), then you need to follow the steps 
below (for copying a campaign and its dependencies) :

   - Use CampaignService.get() 
   
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/CampaignService#get>
 method 
   to get the specific campaign with fields that you want to copy from.
   - Using the returned object in the first step, make necessary changes 
   like changing the campaign name and then use that object as parameter in 
   CampaignService.mutate() 
   
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/CampaignService#mutate>
   .
   - Since the step 2 only creates a new campaign, and not its dependencies 
   like ad groups and criterion, then you need to use the service of each 
   entity (e.g. AdGroupService 
   
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/AdGroupService>
   , AdGroupCriterionService 
   
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/AdGroupCriterionService>,
 
   etc.) to copy these entities and repeat steps 1 and 2 for each service.

As for your concern if we have a full list of objects/entities that you 
need to copy from a campaign, we only have a guide 
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/objects-methods#object_hierarchy_and_scope>
 for 
the object hierarchies that you can refer from.

As additional information, you can also check the Campaign Drafts and 
Experiments guide 
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/campaign-drafts-experiments>
 if 
you wish to create draft and trial campaigns.

Let me know if you have further clarifications.

Thanks,
Vincent
