What means "Assets are duplicated across operations."?

[Markus Heiden]

Hi,

we get an ASSET_ERROR / DUPLICATE_ASSET "Assets are duplicated across operations." when creating an AdGroupAd / Ad / ResponsiveSearchAdInfo.

Please explain in a bit more detail what may cause the problem.

In this case, the headline at position 9 seems to be the problem. But against what is the duplicate check done? The same RSA, another RSA in the ad group, or another RSA in the account? Does it conflict only with the "create RSA" operations in the same call or against already existing RSAs too?

The error:

error_code { asset_error: DUPLICATE_ASSET } message: "Assets are duplicated across operations." location { field_path_elements { field_name: "mutate_operations" index: 0 } field_path_elements { field_name: "ad_group_ad_operation" } field_path_elements { field_name: "create" } field_path_elements { field_name: "ad" } field_path_elements { field_name: "responsive_search_ad" } field_path_elements { field_name: "headlines" index: 9 } } 

Thanks,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Thank you for reaching out to our API support team.

So our team can take a closer look at the error your are encountering and identify the cause, could you also provide to our team your complete request and response logs, and request-id? If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by referring to this guide and by using the DEBUG log setting.

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

The details from the complete logs should provide our team with more details and also would allow us to come up with recommendations to the cause and how to resolve the error.
