How do I change the Name of a Managed Customer

[Stuart]

I have been recently tasked with migrating over 600 of our customers to new accounts within our MCC.

I need to rename the old account and create a new account with the old Name.

Is there a way to mutate the Managed Customer's Name using the AdWords API?

[Danial Klimkin]

Hello Stuart,

No, ManagedCustomerOperation only supports ADD operator.

Are there any plans to add a MUTATE operation soon or should I find another way to rename these accounts?

Hello Stuart,

We currently do not plan to add this functionality.

I ran into a similar problem of renaming account with API.

I can see that there is SET operator now for ManagedCustomerService but doesn't seem to work.

Are updates supported for ManagedCustomer with API?

Hi Manish, 

The SET operator is supported for ManagedCustomerService.mutate(). Could you please enable logging and share the SOAP logs of the API operation that failed? Please use reply privately to author while sharing the details. 

Also, since this is an old thread, could you please create a new thread to discuss this issue? You could share the logs from that thread. This will help us keep better track of the issues. 

Thanks,
