Hi Team,

While changing Attribution model of conversion action. Which has type - Unknown, I got

Error code: MUTATE_NOT_ALLOWED

location": { "fieldPathElements": [ { "fieldName": "operations", "index": 0 }, { "fieldName": "update" }, { "fieldName": "type" }

Though I wasn't changing 'type' field.

It can be considered that change is not allowed for Unknown type conversion action. but I was able to change through Google ads interface.

Is it the issue in api?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API Forum.

As per the information you shared, if your conversion action is of type UNKNOWN, please do note that the API does not support managing these conversion actions, but returns them in reports in order to provide complete results for key conversion metrics such as metrics.conversions and metrics.conversion_values. This is the reason why you are getting the MUTATE_NOT_ALLOWED error response. You may refer here for more information regarding this.

Let me know if you have further questions related to Google Ads API.

Regards,
