Google Ads API: cannot update app campaign ad group ad descriptions and headline

[Mike]

Hi,

when trying to update descriptions and headlines in app campaign through Google Ads API I get the following:

Error: Field 'ad.app_ad.descriptions' cannot be modified by 'UPDATE' operation.

    at AdGroupAdService.<anonymous> (C:\projects\dsp-jobs\node_modules\google-ads-api\build\services\service.js:178:23)

    at Generator.throw (<anonymous>)

    at rejected (C:\projects\dsp-jobs\node_modules\google-ads-api\build\services\service.js:6:65)

    at <anonymous>

I can do it through Google Ads UI. Why? is this a bug?

Hi Mike,

Thank you for reaching out. Please refer to this guide on description of each Ad Type. As you can see that app ad is not mutable, it cannot be modified by 'UPDATE' operation.

Thanks and regards,
Xiaoming, Google Ads API Team
