Hi Vishal, Thanks for the information. Let me rephrase just to make sure I'm understanding properly.
You're suggesting that, if I have a new sitelink that I want to tie to multiple campaigns, I should 1) add that sitelink to Campaign 1 using the CampaignExtensionSettingService (not as part of a BatchService call), 2) extract the FeedId and FeedItemId from the response of the CampaignExtensionSettingService call, and then 3) use the now-created feed item in the Batch Job as a CampaignExtensionOperation for each campaign I want to tie it to (other than the first one, which got linked in step 1)? Which is to say, there's no way to accomplish this without multiple service calls (i.e. it's impossible to do within a single batch job)? For example, could I do something like this instead, in a single batch job: 1) Create a FeedItemOperation to create the sitelink with a Temporary ID 2) Use the Temporary ID in several subsequent CampaignExtensionSettingOperations to tie it to the campaigns I want to tie it to (I suppose with the SET operator)? Thanks again for the help. - Alex On Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at 11:43:26 AM UTC-6, Vishal Vinayak (Adwords API Team) wrote: > > Hi Alex, > > Since there are duplicate elements in the upload when trying to add the > same extension setting object to multiple campaigns, I would recommend > creating the extension setting separately using > CampaignExtensionSettingService (rather than a dependent operation), > fetching the feed ID and feed item ID from the extension and using these > IDs when trying to add the extension setting to multiple campaigns.
