Hi Josh, Thanks. But that still doesn't answer my original question.
I understand it is recommended to set both final URLs for mobile preferred Ads. But my question is *there is no way to set the Mobile Final URL* in the web interface when trying to create a mobile preferred Ad. Please see the screenshot I attached earlier. I know it's possible to set the* Mobile Final URL* programmatically via the API but the way the web interface works raises many questions as to why users can't do the do via the web interface, hence severely limiting this functionality.
