Can't set AdGroupAdRotationMode "Use campaign setting" with google ads api v9

[pn...@yrglm-vn.com]

Hi Adwords api team,

I can set update ad rotation mode: OPTIMIZE, ROTATE_FOREVER but when I need reset to "Use campaign setting" => I can't set it by google ads api v9

=> Reason: With function "FieldMasks.allSetFieldsOf(adGroupNeedUpdate)" not visible "ad_rotation_mode"

Please support me answer why and suggest solution if you can. Thank you so much.

* My sample code as below:

AdGroup adGroupNeedUpdate = adGroupConverterAdWords.convert(adGroup, getAbAccountList()).getAdGroup();

adGroupNeedUpdate.setAdRotationMode(AdGroupAdRotationMode.UNSPECIFIED);

AdGroupOperation operation = AdGroupOperation.newBuilder().setUpdate(adGroupNeedUpdate)                 .setUpdateMask(FieldMasks.allSetFieldsOf(adGroupNeedUpdate)).build();

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out.

To use the campaign setting, you will need to specify the settings instead via the ad_serving_optimization_status attribute of the campaign resource.

To disable this at the ad group level, have you tried setting the ad_rotation_mode to blank instead? So our team can also investigate further, could you provide the complete request and response logs, with the request-id? If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link.

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Hi there,

I work with Peter and will assist you. I reproduced this behavior of .setAdRotationMode(AdGroupAdRotationModeEnum.AdGroupAdRotationMode.UNSPECIFIED) not being sent to server in the log and raised it with my team. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

In the meantime, here's a REST equivalent that flips rotation control back to  campaign:

curl -i --request POST https://googleads.googleapis.com/v9/customers/{CID}/adGroups:mutate \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "login-customer-id: {LCID}" \
--header "developer-token: {DT}" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer {AT}" \
--data "{
  
 'operations': [
    {
        'updateMask': 
            
             'adRotationMode',
        'update': {
'resourceName': 'customers/{CID}/adGroups/{AG}',
  'adRotationMode': 'OPTIMIZE'
}
      },
 ],
'responseContentType': 'MUTABLE_RESOURCE'


}
"

Hi there,

I received the answer from my team.  To clear a field, you set the field mask in the update but don't send any value to the API. I tried this and it worked.
