[Cantare John]

This is the endpoint im using + payload

URL https://googleads.googleapis.com/v11/customers/customerID/adGroupCriteria:mutate

{

"operations": [

{

"updateMask": "negative",

"update": {

"resourceName": "customers/6873600921/adGroupCriteria/resourceId",

"negative": true

}

But i get i this error => Field 'negative' cannot be modified by 'UPDATE' operation.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to our API support team about your concern.

The negative attribute of the AdGroupCriterion resource is unfortunately immutable. For you to 'convert' a criteria from being positive to negative, and vice-versa, you would first need to REMOVE that criteria and recreate it with a different negative attribute value.

I hope this helps.
