Hi Robert, You can find a lot of details about this change at https://plus.sandbox.google.com/+GoogleAds/posts/FP5XUu5DayT. Support for this feature will be added in a future version of the AdWords API, so some of the docs in the current version of AdWords API may not apply in the context of this feature. For specifics,
- ConversionOptimizer will work as it should when set using the API. There are no plans I can share at this point, please watch our blog and release notes for future updates. - If you are on anonymous TargetCpa, then adgroup-level maxCpa won't be ignored. The docs are outdated in the context of the new feature. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
