Can't Set parentalStatus to AdGroupCriterion

[Shawn Hsiao]

Hello,

When I was setting parentalStatus of AdGroupCriterion, I encountered an error `OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT`

• Complete Error messages are as follows:

```
debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer ipv4:142.251.42.234:443 {created_time:"2024-01-22T16:43:42.946377+08:00", grpc_status:3, grpc_message:"Request contains an invalid argument."}"
>, errors {
  error_code {
    context_error: OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT
  }
  message: "The operation is not allowed for the given context."
  trigger {
    string_value: "SEARCH(SEARCH_STANDARD)"
  }
  location {
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "operations"
      index: 0
    }
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "create"
    }
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "parental_status"
    }
  }
}
request_id: "FzSWqMhAFGEUOZiZiRc0VA"
, 'FzSWqMhAFGEUOZiZiRc0VA')
```

• My code was below:

```
def main(client, customer_id, ad_group_id):
    ad_group_service = client.get_service("AdGroupService")
    ad_group_criterion_service = client.get_service("AdGroupCriterionService")
    ad_group_resource_name = ad_group_service.ad_group_path(customer_id, ad_group_id)

    # Exclude Parent
    parent_operation = client.get_type("AdGroupCriterionOperation")
    parent_criterion = parent_operation.create
    parent_criterion.ad_group = ad_group_resource_name
    parent_criterion.negative = True
    parent_criterion.parental_status.type_ = client.enums.ParentalStatusTypeEnum.PARENT

    ad_group_criterion_response = ad_group_criterion_service.mutate_ad_group_criteria(
        customer_id=customer_id,
        operations=[
            parent_operation
        ],
    )

    for result in ad_group_criterion_response.results:
        print(f"Created criterion {result.resource_name}.")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    client = get_client()
    CUSTOMER_ID = "5692452448"
    ad_group_id = "163236537532"
    main(client, CUSTOMER_ID, ad_group_id)
```

I had successfully modified criterion with income_range, gender, and age, but `parentalStatus` was not the case. Please assist with how to correct the error, thanks in advance.

Plus, I was using the google ads library of google-ads-python to fetch client object, and it was not the cause of failing the create operation.
