Hi Eric, Thanks for answering this question. What if I want to change the explicitAdGroupBids for all adgroups under a campaign, but not change the targetBiddingStrategy? In this case, I would still need the biddingTransition to send the explicitAdGroupBids, but because targetBiddingStrategy is required, I am still getting the TRANSITION_TO_ITSELF error whenever try to globally change my ad group Bid amounts. I'm only using manual cpc's, so targetBiddingStrategy is always ManualCPC. Thanks,
