Hello Siva, First, I don't think the test or production account is an issue in your case. If I understand you correctly, you've created a feed via API using placeholder type ID 10 (Ad Customizers <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/placeholders#ad-customizers>) and you tried to set a long string, but was prevented by the system. You then want to change the placeholder field from STRING to URL_LIST but that's not available in this placeholder type, so you couldn't go this way either.
As you can see in the ad customizer guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/ad-customizers>, this feed type is aimed to be used in an ad, which originally contains quite a limited space for texts. Ad customizer was created to provide more flexibility in changing the values, such as integers, strings, prices. I think as it's still under the space limit constraint, long URLs are not provided as one of the placeholder field for this placeholder type. I recommend that you re-consider your use case and the reason why you want a long URL inside an ad.
