Hello everyone, We've been testing the temporary IDs feature of the <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#using_temporary_ids> BatchJobService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#using_temporary_ids>. The Add Complete Campaign script <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/master/examples/AdWords/v201605/CampaignManagement/AddCompleteCampaignsUsingBatchJob.php> works and makes complete sense (great feature by the way!).
Is is possible to use this feature with an ID that has already been set? So for example, if we have a campaign that has already been created and for which we already have an ID, can we add AdGroups and Keywords using the temporary IDs feature of the <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#using_temporary_ids> BatchJobService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#using_temporary_ids> ? So taking the sequence example form the documentation, our approach would look like this: *This sequence would:* > > - *Use a campaign that already exists with an ID of **12345678* > > > - *Add an ad group with temporary ID -1 for campaign 12345678* > > > - *Add an ad group ad for ad group -1* > > > - *Add multiple ad group criteria (e.g., keywords) for ad group -1* > > The start of our operation would look something like this: *array* *(size=13)* > 0 => > *array* *(size=2)* > 0 => > *object*(*AdGroupOperation*)[*21*] > *public* 'operand' => > *object*(*AdGroup*)[*11*] > *public* 'id' => int -1 > *public* 'campaignId' => int 12345678 > *public* 'campaignName' => null > > We have tried this be get the following error: errorType=BatchJobProcessingError, trigger=, > errorString=BatchJobProcessingError.FILE_FORMAT_ERROR, fieldPath=, > reason=FILE_FORMAT_ERROR Any help would be appreciated.
