We are also getting this error since a few days ago. After a bit of digging, it appears to be related to using multiple exclamation points in the ad copy text. Of course this has always been invalid, but now the error handling on Google's end seems to be broken.
Here's the summary of our findings: - When creating an ad with multiple !!-s, instead of the usual error we now get AxisFault with "No valid default value found for enum class" - Instead of being rejected, the ad is actually created in the account - Any other ad in the same batch is also created, even if it has other problems (such as a POLICY_VIOLATION) - This occurs on v201008 as well as on v201101 (latest available) - This occurs with Java client library 8.2.1 and 8.3.1 (latest available) Seems like a pretty serious error. It certainly wrecks havoc in our error-handling code, but it also seems to allow invalid ads to be published.
