Hi, I had added a negative campaign criterion for excluding Games from being targeted in my campaigns and it was working fine until a last couple of days as it suddenly started throwing exceptions for not allowing the negative campaign criterion to be added to the campaign. I get the following exception every time I try to add the negative criterion.
AdWordsApiException: Exception of type 'Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.Lib.AdWordsApiException' was thrown. The Criterion is not allowed to be excluded.. (Error: CriterionError.CANNOT_EXCLUDE_CRITERION , FieldPath: operations[21].operand.criterion.contentLabelType, Trigger: GAMES ) > Based on your suggestion in > https://groups.google.com/forum/?pli=1#!topic/adwords-api/BHCZoySx10g I > added a ContentLabel > <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignCriterionService.ContentLabel> > criterion > of contentLabelType > <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignCriterionService.ContentLabel#contentlabeltype> > = > GAMES as a NegativeCampaignCriterion > <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignCriterionService.NegativeCampaignCriterion> > to > exclude them from my campaign's ads.

CampaignCriterion negativeCriterion = new NegativeCampaignCriterion() { campaignId = campaignId, criterion = new ContentLabel() { contentLabelType = ContentLabelType.GAMES } }; CampaignCriterionOperation negativeCriterionOperation = new CampaignCriterionOperation() { operand = negativeCriterion, @operator = Operator.ADD }; I'd really appreciate your help on this one.
