Hello,

up until a few days ago (around 2020-06-15, from what I can tell) the 
PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT.ProductGroup 
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/product-partition-report#productgroup>
 
values returned by the AdWords API had double quotes properly escaped, 
making each product group value nicely parseable into its individual 
components. However, that escaping is now missing, which makes the 
information unparseable due to ambiguity. Is this a bug in the AdWords API? 
Any estimation on when would it get fixed?


Below an example. I'll be using single quotes to enclose string literals, 
as one would do in Bash or Python.

Let's imagine two product groups defined in terms of two product type 
values: 'foo' and 'foo"bar'. Up until 2020-06-15, those two groups would 
have been rendered in the PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT.ProductGroup 
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/product-partition-report#productgroup>
 
field as:
- '* / product type = "foo"'
- '* / product type = "foo""bar"' (notice the double quote between 'foo' 
and 'bar' being escaped)

but now 'foo"bar' is rendered as:
- '* / product type = "foo"bar"' (notice the double quote between 'foo' and 
'bar' is not escaped any more)

Encoding those ProductGroup values into CSV adds another layer of double 
quote escaping, but that's not relevant for the discussion and can be 
safely ignored.


Thanks in advance,
Manu
