Updating Lead From Asset issue

[Anna Lysak]

Hi Google Team,

Could you please help on my question?

I need possibility to update LeadFormAsset (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/rest/reference/rest/v11/Asset#LeadFormAsset)

I run update request:

params = {
"operations": [{
"updateMask": "name,leadFormAsset.businessName,leadFormAsset.fields",
"update": {
"resourceName": "customers/XXXXX/assets/XXXXX",
"name": "My Lead Form #12345",
"type": "LEAD_FORM",
"final_urls": ["XXXXXX"],
"leadFormAsset": {
"businessName": "Cats LTD New",
"callToActionType": "LEARN_MORE",
"callToActionDescription": "Learn more",
"headline": "New Test Lead Form23",
"description": "New Test Lead Form description",
"privacyPolicyUrl": "XXXXX",
"fields": [
{
"inputType": "EMAIL"
},
{
"inputType": "FIRST_NAME"
},
{
"inputType": "LAST_NAME"
},
{
"inputType": "PHONE_NUMBER"
},
{
"inputType": "COUNTRY"
},
{
"inputType": "CITY"
},
],
"postSubmitCallToActionType": "VISIT_SITE",
"desiredIntent": "LOW_INTENT",
"postSubmitHeadline": "Thank you!",
"postSubmitDescription": "Thanks for filling Lead Form",

}

}
}],
}

I've added 1 field : CITY, but I receive response, that fields is Immutable, but in documentation it is not immutable. Do I have possibility to update fields (add/remove) question?

Response with request ID is the following:

 {
    "error": {
        "code": 400,
        "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
        "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
        "details": [

                    {
                        "errorCode": {
                            "fieldError": "IMMUTABLE_FIELD"
                        },
                        "message": "The field attempted to be mutated is immutable.",
                        "location": {
                            "fieldPathElements": [
                                {
                                    "fieldName": "operations",
                                    "index": 0
                                },
                                {
                                    "fieldName": "update"
                                },
                                {
                                    "fieldName": "lead_form_asset"
                                },
                                {
                                    "fieldName": "fields"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                ],
                "requestId": "wcz8z2YNaAuNLawWN8rU6Q"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Hi Matt, 

is it possible to update questions list (add/remove) through the API?

Thanks.

Hi Anna,

Thanks for following up. I'm a developer relations engineer jumping in to help out here.

For your first question, I believe it's not possible to update the lead_form_asset.fields field on an Asset, but I am double-checking with the team to make sure. It's possible our documentation may not be specific enough on this point.

And for your second questions, I'm not entirely sure what you mean, could you please elaborate?

Thanks,

Hi Karl, thank you for reply.

Second question was related to 1st one for example I created lead form with this body:

params = {
"operations": [{
"create": {

"resourceName": "customers/XXXXX/assets/XXXXX",
"name": "My Lead Form #12345",
"type": "LEAD_FORM",
"final_urls": ["XXXXXX"],
"leadFormAsset": {
"businessName": "Cats LTD New",
"callToActionType": "LEARN_MORE",
"callToActionDescription": "Learn more",
"headline": "New Test Lead Form23",
"description": "New Test Lead Form description",
"privacyPolicyUrl": "XXXXX",
"fields": [
{
"inputType": "EMAIL"
},
{
"inputType": "FIRST_NAME"
},
{
"inputType": "LAST_NAME"
},
{
"inputType": "PHONE_NUMBER"
},
{
"inputType": "COUNTRY"
}
],

"postSubmitCallToActionType": "VISIT_SITE",
"desiredIntent": "LOW_INTENT",
"postSubmitHeadline": "Thank you!",
"postSubmitDescription": "Thanks for filling Lead Form",

}

}
}],
}

and I want to update lead form asset, by removing field :

{
"inputType": "COUNTRY"
}

and add field:

{
"inputType": "CITY"
},

So I do Update request:

params = {
"operations": [{
"updateMask": "name,leadFormAsset.businessName,leadFormAsset.fields",
"update": {
"resourceName": "customers/XXXXX/assets/XXXXX",
"name": "My Lead Form #12345",
"type": "LEAD_FORM",
"final_urls": ["XXXXXX"],
"leadFormAsset": {
"businessName": "Cats LTD New",
"callToActionType": "LEARN_MORE",
"callToActionDescription": "Learn more",
"headline": "New Test Lead Form23",
"description": "New Test Lead Form description",
"privacyPolicyUrl": "XXXXX",
"fields": [
{
"inputType": "EMAIL"
},
{
"inputType": "FIRST_NAME"
},
{
"inputType": "LAST_NAME"
},
{
"inputType": "PHONE_NUMBER"
},
{

"inputType": "CITY"

},
],
"postSubmitCallToActionType": "VISIT_SITE",
"desiredIntent": "LOW_INTENT",
"postSubmitHeadline": "Thank you!",
"postSubmitDescription": "Thanks for filling Lead Form",

}

}
}],
}

But it doesn't work, response is I can't update leadFormAsset.fields  field. So is it possible to add/remove question(update "fields") in leadFormAsset  somehow ?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I said Karl, I meant Ben :)

Hi Anna,

No problem :) 

Apologies for my delayed response. I do have some clarification here. The field is technically mutable, however it's only possible to re-order the items in the list, not to add or remove any.

We're actually in the process of updating the comment on the field to clarify this in our documentation. 

Hope this help! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
