How to edit the creative information in the ad.

[李小康]

Hi,

I created an advertisement through the API with two titles and descriptions, and then I called the modify advertisement API, but i got an error "Field 'ad.app_ad.images' cannot be modified by 'UPDATE' operation."
Is this because my FieldMask is wrong? Or is it that the interface does not support modifying creatives?

The FieldMask I filled in is "Paths: []string{'ad.app_ad.images'}"

Looking forward to your reply.

Below is my request body and response body：
request：&services.MutateAdGroupAdsRequest{state:impl.MessageState{NoUnkeyedLiterals:pragma.NoUnkeyedLiterals{}, DoNotCompare:pragma.DoNotCompare{}, DoNotCopy:pragma.DoNotCopy{}, atomicMessageInfo:(*impl.MessageInfo)(nil)}, sizeCache:0, unknownFields:[]uint8(nil), CustomerId:"9878974158", Operations:[]*services.AdGroupAdOperation{(*services.AdGroupAdOperation)(0xc0004134a0)}, PartialFailure:false, ValidateOnly:false, ResponseContentType:0}

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

You may note that you may use AdService to mutate Ads. You may check this documentation that provides an overview of the various ad types and features available in the API. you may also note that only certain ad types are mutable and you can check this table for that. With this, you will see that the AppAd (ad.app_ad) is indeed immutable.

In addition, there is also this code example that illustrates how to modify an existing ad.

Best regards,
