Notes: The detected attributes interact with any existing field values in the following way:
- Detected Duration and Video API will replace any existing values.
- Detected MIME Types and Bitrates get added to any existing values.
For example, if you have set the Video Ad Duration field to 15 seconds, but the detected Duration shows 30 seconds, then clicking the Detect Attributes button sets the Video Ad Duration field to 30 seconds. You must click Save to save the detected attributes.
Creative Bulk Upload
The auto-detect feature in Creative Bulk Upload detects creative attributes and saves the field values during the creation of the creatives.
Once you complete bulk uploading, you can see the status message indicating Success or Failure of each tag.
Each creative saves the detected attributes field values.
