[PHP] Google Ads Api Beta. Problems with ExpandedTextAd Update

[Miguel Graciá]

Hi,

I am trying the new api of google ads. I was able to create an ad in my test account with the help of the examples, but when I try to update the title, the api returns an error. The request, extracted from the log, is as follows:

{
    "customerId": "[CUSTOMER_ID]",
    "operations": [
        {
            "updateMask": "resourceName,ad.id,ad.finalUrls,ad.finalMobileUrls,ad.trackingUrlTemplate,ad.urlCustomParameters,ad.displayUrl,ad.type,ad.addedByGoogleAds,ad.devicePreference,ad.name,ad.textAd,ad.expandedTextAd.headlinePart1,ad.expandedTextAd.headlinePart2,ad.expandedTextAd.headlinePart3,ad.expandedTextAd.description,ad.expandedTextAd.description2,ad.expandedTextAd.path1,ad.expandedTextAd.path2,ad.dynamicSearchAd,ad.responsiveDisplayAd,ad.callOnlyAd,ad.expandedDynamicSearchAd,ad.hotelAd,ad.shoppingSmartAd,ad.shoppingProductAd,ad.gmailAd,ad.imageAd,ad.videoAd",
            "update": {
                "resourceName": "customers\/[CUSTOMER_ID]\/adGroupAds\/[AD_GROUP_AD_ID]_[AD_GROUP_ID]",
                "status": "ENABLED",
                "ad": {
                    "id": "[AD_GROUP_AD_ID]",
                    "expandedTextAd": {
                        "headlinePart1": "Title Test"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Response:

   ...

   {
       "errorCode": {
           "requestError": "IMMUTABLE_FIELD"
       },
       "message": "Field 'ad.expanded_text_ad.headline_part1' cannot be modified by 'UPDATE' operation.",
       "location": {
           "fieldPathElements": [
               {"fieldName": "operations","index": "0"},
               {"fieldName": "update" },
               {"fieldName": "ad" },
               {"fieldName": "expanded_text_ad" },
               {"fieldName": "headline_part1" }
           ]
       }
   }

...

Does this mean that in order to modify the title it is necessary to delete the ad and create a new one?

The old api of google adwords has examples where you can modify this field.

Thanks for the help.
