Hi,

we are using the latest version of the Microsoft/Bing Ads Java SDK.

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.bingads/microsoft.bingads/13.0.26

Since last night, we are getting this error:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: 
Unrecognized field "CroppingType" (class com.microsoft.bingads.v13.campaignmanagement.ImageAsset), not marked as ignorable (10 known properties: "TargetWidth", "CropWidth", "CropHeight", "CropX", "CropY", "Type", "Id", "TargetHeight", "Name", "SubType"])
 at [Source: REDACTED (`StreamReadFeature.INCLUDE_SOURCE_IN_LOCATION` disabled); line: 1, column: 8234] (through reference chain: 
com.microsoft.bingads.v13.campaignmanagement.GetAdsByAdGroupIdResponse["Ads"]->java.util.ArrayList[1]->com.microsoft.bingads.v13.campaignmanagement.ResponsiveAd["Images"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->com.microsoft.bingads.v13.campaignmanagement.AssetLink["Asset"]->com.microsoft.bingads.v13.campaignmanagement.ImageAsset["CroppingType"])

when using this function:

com.microsoft.bingads.v13.campaignmanagement.ICampaignManagementService#getAdsByAdGroupId

So there seems to be a new field called "CroppingType" in ResponsiveAd -> Images -> AssetLink -> ImageAsset.

This field is not listed here in the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/campaign-management-service/imageasset?view=bingads-13&tabs=xml

This looks like a bug to me. Can you please check it? It is blocking our business.

Thanks a lot in advance.

    It appears that you are encountering an issue with the Microsoft/Bing Ads Java SDK where the field "CroppingType" is not recognized in the ImageAsset class. This could be due to a recent update or change in the API that has not yet been reflected in the documentation.

    The error message indicates that the SDK is trying to deserialize a response that includes this new field, which is not defined in the current version of the SDK you are using. This situation often arises when the API has been updated to include new fields that the SDK has not yet been updated to accommodate.

    To resolve this issue, you can consider the following steps:

    1. Check for SDK Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Bing Ads Java SDK. If a new version is available, it may include the necessary updates to handle the "CroppingType" field.
    2. Contact Support: If the issue persists even after updating, it may be beneficial to reach out to Microsoft support for clarification on the new field and any potential updates to the SDK.
    3. Ignore Unknown Properties: As a temporary workaround, you can configure your Jackson ObjectMapper to ignore unknown properties, which would allow your application to continue functioning without throwing an exception for unrecognized fields.

    If you continue to experience issues, providing feedback to Microsoft regarding the documentation and the SDK could help improve the resources available for developers.
