Duplicates a line item. Returns the ID of the created line item if successful. YouTube & Partners line items cannot be created or updated using the API. **This method regularly experiences high latency.** We recommend [increasing your default timeout](/display-video/api/guides/best-practices/timeouts#client_library_timeout) to avoid errors.

## Path parameters

If contains_eu_political_ads has been set to `DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_EU_POLITICAL_ADVERTISING` in the parent advertiser, then this field will be assigned `DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_EU_POLITICAL_ADVERTISING` if not otherwise specified.
