Starting on October 3, 2025**,** you will be able to set both the `gclid` and `gbraid` fields on your `ClickConversion` messages when importing them to the Google Ads API, by using the `UploadClickConversions` method.


Previously, setting both of these fields resulted in the following [partial failure](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/best-practices/partial-failures.md.txt) error:

- `error_code`: `FieldError​.VALUE_MUST_BE_UNSET`
- `location.field_path_elements.field.field_name:` `gclid`

<br />


Once this change is released, this error will no longer be returned. Instead you will see successful import responses.
