How to request EXPANDED DYNAMIC SEARCH AD

[f s]

When I create an ad group and then create an ad via curl, I get the response below.

                }
              ]
            }
          }
        ],
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v1.errors.GoogleAdsFailure"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The request to create ad group is below.

{
      'operations': {
        'create': {
          'name': 'EXPANDED DYNAMIC SEARCH AD TEST',
          'status': 'ENABLED',
          'type': 'UNSPECIFIED',
          'campaign': 'customers/5838476497/campaigns/2049402155',
          'cpc_bid_micros': 100000000
        }
      }
    }

The request to create ad is below.

              'description': 'Buy your favorite!'
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

When requesting ad group, the result is the same whether type is "UNSPECIFIED" or "SEARCH_STANDARD", etc.

Can't it still use EXPANDED DYNAMIC SEARCH AD? Or is I wrong somewhere? What should I do?

Hi,

Thank you contacting support. I tried creating a new ad using code sample from Java Client libraries to create Expanded Dynamic Search Ads and have attached the logs. The AdGroupType enum value should be set to SEARCH_DYNAMIC_ADS for creating the expanded dynamic Search Ads instead of SEARCH_STANDARD or UNSPECIFIED. You could refer to AdGroupType for the types of Ad groups specific to a particular campaign channel type. Let us know if this helps.
