    }
  ],
  "partialFailure": boolean,

}
Fields
operations[]

object (AdGroupOperation)

Required. The list of operations to perform on individual ad groups.
partialFailure

boolean

If true, successful operations will be carried out and invalid operations will return errors. If false, all operations will be carried out in one transaction if and only if they are all valid. Default is false.
