Re: why are my ads showing the default parameter
I determined that it was related to the real or display width of the headline, and have posted a new question with this information in mind.

Re: why are my ads showing the default parameter
Hello Ryan, I apologize that I was not able to reply on our private thread. Delivery to your email address failed repeatedly. I am glad you determined the cause, and I hope we are able to get to the bottom of the issue on the new thread.

why are my ads showing the default parameter
Hi, Some of our ads are showing the default value for a parameter, despite the fact that we have sent a value for the parameter. When I pull back the params using AdParamService.Get it shows the params have the correct value that we have sent.

Re: why are my ads showing the default parameter
It turns out that the parameter shows if I reduce its size by one character (remove a £) despite the fact that even with the £ my headline was still only 25 chars, the same length as if the default value is used. So i'm still a bit confused as to why the longer parameter doesn't show, would be great if anyone had any insight on this!

Re: why are my ads showing the default parameter
Hello Ryan, Have you tried replacing the £ symbol with another symbol, to see if that works? That symbol (or another in your string) may be counting as double-width. If you were 1 over due to a double-width character, then removing any single character may have made it succeed. Unfortunately, we do not have a published list of which characters count as single- and double-width, so the only way to be sure is through experimentation.
