CustomTargetingError
reason	CustomTargetingError.Reason Enumerations KEY_NOT_FOUND Requested CustomTargetingKey is not found. KEY_COUNT_TOO_LARGE Number of CustomTargetingKey objects created exceeds the limit allowed for the network. KEY_NAME_DUPLICATE CustomTargetingKey with the same CustomTargetingKey.name already exists. KEY_NAME_EMPTY CustomTargetingKey.name is empty. KEY_NAME_INVALID_LENGTH CustomTargetingKey.name is too long. KEY_NAME_INVALID_CHARS CustomTargetingKey.name contains unsupported or reserved characters. KEY_NAME_RESERVED CustomTargetingKey.name matches one of the reserved custom targeting key names. KEY_DISPLAY_NAME_INVALID_LENGTH CustomTargetingKey.displayName is too long. KEY_STATUS_NOT_ACTIVE Key is not active. VALUE_NOT_FOUND Requested CustomTargetingValue is not found. GET_VALUES_BY_STATEMENT_MUST_CONTAIN_KEY_ID The WHERE clause in the Statement.query must always contain CustomTargetingValue.customTargetingKeyId as one of its columns in a way that it is AND'ed with the rest of the query. VALUE_COUNT_FOR_KEY_TOO_LARGE The number of CustomTargetingValue objects associated with a CustomTargetingKey exceeds the network limit. This is only applicable for keys of type CustomTargetingKey.Type#PREDEFINED. VALUE_NAME_DUPLICATE CustomTargetingValue with the same CustomTargetingValue.name already exists. VALUE_NAME_EMPTY CustomTargetingValue.name is empty. VALUE_NAME_INVALID_LENGTH CustomTargetingValue.name is too long. VALUE_NAME_INVALID_CHARS CustomTargetingValue.name contains unsupported or reserved characters. VALUE_DISPLAY_NAME_INVALID_LENGTH CustomTargetingValue.displayName is too long. VALUE_MATCH_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED Only Ad Manager 360 networks can have CustomTargetingValue.matchType other than CustomTargetingValue.MatchType.EXACT. VALUE_MATCH_TYPE_NOT_EXACT_FOR_PREDEFINED_KEY You can only create CustomTargetingValue objects with match type CustomTargetingValue.MatchType.EXACT when associating with CustomTargetingKey objects of type CustomTargetingKey.Type.PREDEFINED SUFFIX_MATCH_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED CustomTargetingValue object cannot have match type of CustomTargetingValue.MatchType.SUFFIX when adding a CustomTargetingValue to a line item. CONTAINS_MATCH_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED CustomTargetingValue object cannot have match type of CustomTargetingValue.MatchType.CONTAINS when adding a CustomTargetingValue to targeting expression of a line item. VALUE_STATUS_NOT_ACTIVE Value is not active. KEY_WITH_MISSING_VALUES The CustomTargetingKey does not have any CustomTargetingValue associated with it. INVALID_VALUE_FOR_KEY The CustomTargetingKey has a CustomTargetingValue specified for which the value is not a valid child. CANNOT_OR_DIFFERENT_KEYS CustomCriteriaSet.LogicalOperator.OR operation cannot be applied to values with different keys. INVALID_TARGETING_EXPRESSION Targeting expression is invalid. This can happen if the sequence of operators is wrong, or a node contains invalid number of children. DELETED_KEY_CANNOT_BE_USED_FOR_TARGETING The key has been deleted. CustomCriteria cannot have deleted keys. DELETED_VALUE_CANNOT_BE_USED_FOR_TARGETING The value has been deleted. CustomCriteria cannot have deleted values. VIDEO_BROWSE_BY_KEY_CANNOT_BE_USED_FOR_CUSTOM_TARGETING The key is set as the video browse-by key, which cannot be used for custom targeting. CANNOT_DELETE_CUSTOM_KEY_USED_IN_PARTNER_ASSIGNMENT_TARGETING Cannot delete a custom criteria key that is targeted by an active partner assignment. CANNOT_DELETE_CUSTOM_VALUE_USED_IN_PARTNER_ASSIGNMENT_TARGETING Cannot delete a custom criteria value that is targeted by an active partner assignment. CANNOT_TARGET_AUDIENCE_SEGMENT AudienceSegment object cannot be targeted. CANNOT_TARGET_THIRD_PARTY_AUDIENCE_SEGMENT Third party AudienceSegment cannot be targeted. CANNOT_TARGET_INACTIVE_AUDIENCE_SEGMENT Inactive AudienceSegment object cannot be targeted. INVALID_AUDIENCE_SEGMENTS Targeted AudienceSegment object is not valid. CANNOT_TARGET_MAPPED_METADATA Mapped metadata key-values are deprecated and cannot be targeted.
