Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
By reviewing your concern, I understand that you've encountered an error message stating "Field 'aligned_bidding_strategy_id' cannot be modified by 'CREATE' operation". Additionally, you're seeking confirmation about whether your approach aligns with the Google Ads modules.
Please note that ‘alignedBiddingStrategyId’ and ‘alignedCampaignBudgetId’ are immutable fields, which means that they cannot be modified after the budget or bidding strategy is created. This is because these fields are used to link the budget and bidding strategy together.
The correct sequence of all the Google Ads modules is as follows:
- Campaign budget: This is where you set the budget for your campaigns.
- Campaign: This is where you create and manage your campaigns.
- Ad group: This is where you group your ads together.
- Ad: This is where you create your text, image, or video ads.
- Bidding strategy: This is where you set how much you want to bid on keywords and other factors.
- Keywords: These are the words or phrases that people search for that trigger your ads.
After following the above sequence, if you are still facing any issues kindly provide us with the complete API logs (
request and
response with
request-id and
request header) generated at your end and uncropped UI screenshot of where you are facing the issue.
If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides
Java,
.Net,
PHP,
Python,
Ruby or
Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.
You can send the details via

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2p1kCt:ref"
