Hello Team,

I have a product group tree organized like this :

and I want to add a sublevel below the catidlevel to obtain this structure :

i .e. create a sublevel below catidlevel.

To make this happen, I need to update the catidlevel type field (listing_group.type) from UNIT to SUBDIVISION but when I send the mutate request, I get the following error:

error_code {
request_error: IMMUTABLE_FIELD
}
message: "Field \'listing_group.type\' cannot be modified by \'UPDATE\' operation."

Does it mean that one cannot update the type of an existing listing_group?

Thanks
Heloise

Hi Heloise,

Based on our documentation, an ad group criterion's listing_group is IMMUTABLE so I'm afraid it's not possible to update its type. You may refer to our sample code in order to replace the existing listing group tree.

If you encounter any issues, please provide the complete request and response logs with request ID so we can further investigate. You may send the requested information via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, please send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.
