Hi, I read the following in the v201702 release notes of the API: "BatchJobService in all versions of the AdWords API now supports AdGroupCriterionOperations that modify shopping ProductPartitions."
Since: 1 - We had been sending AdGroupCriterionOperations in batch jobs to modify only the bids of shopping ProductPartitions for more than a year before the v201702 release (confirming that the release notes were actually talking about modifying the structure of product partitions, not just attributes like bids of existing partitions), 2 - I saw that in the section about working with shopping campaigns in batch jobs (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#working_with_shopping_campaigns), there is no mention of a limit of creating/modifying the partitions of only two ad groups in a single batch job (it is still mentioned in the limits page at https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/limits, as it has been for years, although where it's placed would lead me to think it's not really related to batch jobs [but instead non-batch SOAP calls]), 3 - There has not been a 2 ad group limit for batch jobs that modify the bids of existing product partitions, and 4 - It doesn't seem like you'd take the time/effort to add support for adding/modifying partition trees in batch jobs if it were constrained to the same tiny 2 ad group limitation as the normal AdGroupCriterionService SOAP call (as batch jobs can accept many hundreds of thousands of operations in general, whereas all the SOAP calls are limited to 5k per call, and that's one of the main points of using batch jobs), I had taken this to mean that batch jobs now fully supported product partition additions/modifications - including for more than 2 ad groups at a time. However, when I try to create new product partition trees in more than 2 ad groups at a time in a single batch job with v201705, it fails with the OPERATIONS_FOR_TOO_MANY_SHOPPING_ADGROUPS error, as the AdGroupCriterionService SOAP call always has. In hindsight, I can see I (wishfully) probably read too much into these things, but I wanted to verify that indeed the batch job service doesn't support adding/modifying the product partition tree of more than 2 ad groups in a single batch job? If it's true that batch jobs really have the same limitation of 2 ad groups as the SOAP service, we'd like to request that you please remove (or at least greatly raise) that limit, as it doesn't really seem to make much sense for a service that's meant to do hundreds of thousands of operations in the background asynchronously (and it would be a huge help to us, as we need to create new partitions for thousands of ad groups at a time normally, and sometimes hundreds of thousands at a time, and the 2 ad group limit makes it take forever).
