Re: Field ConversionTypeName is sometimes returned as ConversionType instead of ConversionActionName

Same here, but we encountered this in the Campaign Performance report. It's easy enough to change our tool in order to accomodate the modified field name, but if this changes depending on the client ID, this would make for some very ugly code. So I'd appreciate any feedback from Google's side.
