Hi Josh, Yes, it would seem that although the value is true by default if the Feed does not have the field loaded and mapped then it has nothing to save it against when you try and update values in the FeedItem. That's my guess anyway. What I have done now is just included entries for all the

Hi Josh, Thanks for looking into this. I noticed that the country was listed as 'Afghanistan' so I inspected the live site and noticed they should be uppercase. Link from the docs or an example would help. I was looking at the placeholder docs https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/ap

Hi James, One issue I see with some of the other feed items is that the country code is in lowercase ("gb"), but the API is expecting uppercase. That's why you see "Afghanistan" selected as the country for the other call extensions. Regarding the error on save for ad group ID 13788225903, my th
