RE: The field mask updated a field with subfields

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hi Eray,

Thanks for raising this concern to the Google Ads API Support team. Please note that our team can only provide support in English. If you keep sending your reply in different languages, then we will use Google translate to check your concern.

Moving forward to your concern, It seems that you've encountered the FIELD_HAS_SUBFIELDS error. The said error is when the field mask updated a field with subfields. Fields with subfields may be cleared, but not updated. For you to fix this kind of error, I would suggest the field mask should select all the subfields of the invalid field.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Regards,

Carmela Google Ads API Team

First of all, thank you for the information. Sorry, I sent the message in Turkish due to a technical problem. Do you have a chance to share an example of your explanation above because I did not understand the explanation very well?

"For you to fix this kind of error, I recommend that the field mask select all subfields of the invalid field." If you have a chance to post an example for Net SDK on this topic, it is enough for me.

Hi Eray,

Thanks for getting back to us.

For your question “If you have a chance to post an example for Net SDK on this topic, it is enough for me.”, you may check this guide which helps you to generate field masks from a modified object instead of building them from scratch. However, I can see that complete request and response logs not provided as this will help our team to investigate further. If you still persists, please provide complete logs via privately for our investigation.
