Hello,

I created an appAd. I encountered a problem when I wanted to modify the ad headlines/descriptions. I read the document and said that direct modification is not supported. I need to remove it first and then recreate it to achieve the purpose of modification. But when I deleted it, I also encountered a problem, saying that "This operation is not permitted on this campaign type":

 errors {
  error_code {
    operation_access_denied_error: OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CAMPAIGN_TYPE
  }
  message: "This operation is not permitted on this campaign type"
  trigger {
    string_value: ""
  }
  location {
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "operations"
      index: 0
    }
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "remove"
    }
  }

My core code is as follows :
    ad_group_ad_service = client.get_service("AdGroupAdService", version="v6")
    ad_group_ad_operation = client.get_type("AdGroupAdOperation", version="v6")
    resource_name = ad_group_ad_service.ad_group_ad_path(
    customer_id, ResourceName.format_composite(ad_group_id, ad_id)
            )
    ad_group_ad_operation.remove = resource_name
    ad_group_ad_response = ad_group_ad_service.mutate_ad_group_ads(
            customer_id, [ad_group_ad_operation]
        )

How can I modify this advertisement? 
Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. AppAds cannot be mutated -- only certain ad types may be. Please see this chart that summarizes ad type characteristics for more information.

Thank you for your reply,

I know that AppAd cannot be modified directly. I have read the document, and the document says "If an ad type is not mutable, it must be removed and recreated to make changes.",
So I remove first and plan to recreate again, but remove reports an error, prompting: "This operation is not permitted on this campaign type".

I want to ask, 
1. why can't it be deleted?
2. In addition, the app ads can be modified on the Google management backend, so how can I modify them using the Google Ads API?企业微信截图_70d32aa9-30a2-4931-818f-254f276ac7a1.png企业微信截图_3622821c-2619-4a3e-abf5-14f2478fc834.png

Hello,

Please see my replies to your questions below:
  1. The remove operation is possible for AppAds. If you can send us the complete request and response logs associated with the operation permitted error, we can have a closer look.
  2. Editing existing AppAds is not possible using the Google Ads API. If this becomes supported, we will announce it on the Ads Developer blog.

Hello,

Thank you for providing the traceback. However, if you can provide us with the logs as outlined here, this will help us investigate the ad removal issue.

Hello there,

Thanks for your response. I work with Matt and allow me to assist you with this.

The logs that our colleague Matt was requesting are the complete request and response logs along with the request-id, which should be generated once you have enabled logging as seen in the guide that he provided earlier. You may then provide those details via Reply privately to author option so our team could further check on our end.
