I figured it out and can now convert a UNIT to SUBDIVISION with additional
UNIT nodes. Firstly, thank you for getting back each time.
For those whom I hope this helps...
*first error:* I was pointing the "others" node parent resource to that of
the root node criterion_id and not the new subdivision.
*second error: * I was subdividing the partition by product_item_id, I
incorrectly configured my code to mimic the case_value property of the
selected node and not what it was going to be subdivided by.
The example is the order of how I am doing it (order of operations). I
want to note though that *I only create a subdivision if a user decides to
subdivide a node (i.e. brand or product type) that is currently a UNIT*.
case_value for all nodes are dynamically determined based on the
selectedNode and to be added UNIT nodes. If it's already a subdivision,
then this process is skipped.
const updateSelectedNodeType = new resources.AdGroupCriterion({
resource_name: tempSubdivisionResource,
ad_group: adGroupResource,
listing_group: {
parent_ad_group_criterion: parentNode,
type: enums.ListingGroupType.SUBDIVISION,
case_value: caseValue,
},
negative: false,
status: enums.AdGroupCriterionStatus.ENABLED,
});
const everythingElseNode = new resources.AdGroupCriterion({
resource_name: everythingElseResource,
ad_group: adGroupResource,
cpc_bid_micros: toMicros(0.4),
listing_group: {
parent_ad_group_criterion: tempSubdivisionResource,
type: enums.ListingGroupType.UNIT,
case_value: everythingElseCaseValue,
},
negative: false,
status: enums.AdGroupCriterionStatus.ENABLED,
});
const updatePartitionToSubdivision: MutateOperation<resources.
IAdGroupCriterion> =
{
entity: "ad_group_criterion",
operation: "create",
resource: {
...updateSelectedNodeType,
},
};
createSubdivisionOperation.push(updatePartitionToSubdivision);
const createEverythingElseNodeOperation: MutateOperation<resources.
IAdGroupCriterion> =
{
entity: "ad_group_criterion",
operation: "create",
resource: {
...everythingElseNode,
},
};
createSubdivisionOperation.push(createEverythingElseNodeOperation);
//partition object with set cpc, but can be changed for user.
const newPartition = new resources.AdGroupCriterion({
ad_group: `customers/${customer}/adGroups/${adGroupId}`,
resource_name: criterionResourceOperation,
cpc_bid_micros: toMicros(0.4),
negative: false,
status: enums.AdGroupCriterionStatus.ENABLED,
listing_group: {
parent_ad_group_criterion: parentAdGroupCriterion,

case_value: caseValue,

});
//finalize for operation
const addPartitionNodes: MutateOperation<resources.IAdGroupCriterion>
=
{
entity: "ad_group_criterion",
operation: "create",
resource: newPartition,
};
//push for batch operation
addPartitionOperation.push(addPartitionNodes);

//case values:

product_item_id: { value: 'shopify_us_5695534235803_36317916823707' }
}
]
Operation Success! Subdivision created.
Purely comes down to a misunderstanding on my part. Thanks for working with
me on this.
