Cannot Update Short Headline for Responsive Display Ad

[syam...@synchroweb.com]

I want to update the Short Headline of my ad by doing this code.

        $adgroupid   = 567567;

        $xid        = 346346;

        

        $adWordsServices = new AdWordsServices();

        $currentService = $adWordsServices->get($this->aw_session, AdGroupAdService::class);

        $operations = [];

        $ad = new ResponsiveDisplayAd();

        $ad->setId($xid);

        $ad->setShortHeadline("New Short Headline Updated");

        // Create ad group ad.

        $adGroupAd = new AdGroupAd();

        $adGroupAd->setAdGroupId($adgroupid);

        $adGroupAd->setAd($ad);

        // Update the status to PAUSED.

        $adGroupAd->setStatus(AdGroupAdStatus::PAUSED);

        // Create ad group ad operation and add it to the list.

        $operation = new AdGroupAdOperation();

        $operation->setOperand($adGroupAd);

        $operation->setOperator(Operator::SET);

        $operations[] = $operation;

        // Pause the ad on the server.

        $result = $currentService->mutate($operations);

got this error:

Hi,

The error you are getting is because we cannot modify attributes other than status of the ad. Please refer this section of guide for better clarity. However, you can create a new Ad with the desired description and pause or remove the current Ad. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Regards,

Dhanya, AdWords API Team
