Hello! I am trying to remove device-level bid adjustments for certain
campaigns in an account via a Python process running against the Ads API.
That is, if I were to do what I want to do manually in the Google Ads web
UI, I would click on "Devices" in the left-hand navigation bar while
looking at "Campaigns", select the "edit" button next to the device's "Bid
adj." column value, and change the field to be blank, so as to remove it
per the instructions: "To remove a bid adjustment, leave this field blank."
I found that I am able to access the device-level bid adjustment via the
CampaignCriterionService. I tried setting
campaign_criterion.bid_modifier.value = 0.0 but instead of removing the
criterion, changing the campaign_criterion.bid modifier.value to 0.0 sets
the bid adjustment for that device to -100%. What is the correct way to go
about removing this bid adjustment, as I would in the UI? Is this operation
supported in the Ads API?
When I try to "remove" it via CampaignCriterionOperation, I get this error
message: ""The criterion is not allowed to be removed. For example, we
cannot remove any of the device criterion."
I should note that, when I try to see the attributes of this campaign bid
modifier by running a search against the campaign_bid_modifier object in
GoogleAdsService ("SELECT customer.id, campaign.id,
campaign_bid_modifier.criterion_id FROM campaign_bid_modifier"), I can't
find it. However, I am able to see it when I run a search against
campaign_criterion ("SELECT customer.id, campaign.id,
campaign_criterion.criterion_id FROM campaign_criterion") as well as when I
run a search against ad_group_bid_modifier ("SELECT customer.id,
campaign.id, ad_group_bid_modifier.criterion_id FROM ad_group_bid_modifier
WHERE ad_group_bid_modifier.bid_modifier_source = 'CAMPAIGN'"). Thanks in
advance for your help.
