Hi Scott, I don't think the ad performance report would automatically resolve the tracking template URLs and custom parameters in a hierarchical manner. I believe it shows only values at the current level (e.g. if there is a tracking parameter at ad level, it shows the value, and blank otherwise). You'd need to get these parameters using the serving rules explained on https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/serving-url-expansion-rules
