The ext.prebid.bidid field is often absent

[YuriyVelichkoPI]

Background

We host a PBS GO v.2.0.0 and build analytics reports from the data collected by a custom analytic adapter. Earlier, we noticed the duplication of the bid.id field for some bidders. In order to build proper reports, we switched the generate_bid_id config property to true.

Current Behavior

A lot of bid responses don't contain the ext.prebid.bidid objects.

There are cases
- all bids in the response contain the bidid
- all bids in the response don't contain the bidid

Requests are from the same site.

Expected behavior

The ext.prebid.bidid object is present in all bids if generate_bid_id is true.

Confirmed end-to-end tests on the request endpoints looks good with proper event support. I'll check if there's anything specific to analytics adapters next.

In the meanwhile, please verify your configuration is correctly enabling the generate bid id feature. When Prebid Server starts up, you should see the following in the log:

I0212 12:47:29.342581    2258 structlog.go:39]   	generate_bid_id: true

Hi @SyntaxNode !

Thanks for working on it. I'm terribly sorry, but it looks like it was a wrong query due to the time shifts. And I saw the data from the period of time before switching the flag on. Double-checking the later days, I didn't find the empty bidif field.

I'm closing the issue.

Glad it was something simple in the end. No worries.
