Update Campaign GeoTargetTypeSetting Failure with "field has subfields" in V8.0.0 but succeed in earlier version

[SuperHeroX]

Hi,
I'm upgrading Dotnet library version from v6.1.0 to the latest v8.0.0, previously we are calling updating the campaign with geoTargetTypeSetting (set both positive and negative geotarget type) and it succeeded in Google Ads API v6 via Dotnet library v6.1.0. However, after updated Dotnet library version to v8.0.0, we are seeing the same campaign update call are failing in Google Ads API v6 and v7. Could you provide details on whether it is expected behavior or not? if so, what is the correct way to update geoTargetTypeSetting?

Here is the succuss result for V6 running in dotnet library v6.1.0,

Thanks,

I can replicate this issue with v8.0.0. This is a side effect of a refactor of FieldMasks class. The previous version didn't care about the types of various leaf fields. The new version does, but didn't handle enum fields.

I have a fix locally, and will do a release next week as part of a planned iteration. Can this wait till then?

I have a fix out in v9.0.0 of the client library. PTAL and let me know if this fixes the regression?
