I have a TemplateAd which was put together in AdBuilder. It is a "Dynamic Display ad" and will get its contents from a Feed's FeedItems.
I'm able to populate most of the ad's fields this way, but not the logo (i.e. Design_0_logoImageUrl) . I'm using AdGroupAdService to update this logo,
but Adwords neither complains nor updates it. My request looks like this:

Hi,
Ads in AdWords are immutable, so if you want to change any attribute of an ad, you'll have to REMOVE the existing ad and ADD a new ad with the new attributes.
Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Thanks Josh.
It'd be nice if the documentation mentioned it; Not trying to shoot the messenger, but the
description for "originAdId" in TemplateAd could be clearer. In some places it's even flat
out inaccurate. For example https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/MediaService
says the MediaService can be used "for example: to upload new images for location extensions & get the ids of
videos to be used in template ads". It wasn't until I read your response
that I realized that by "for example" the documentation meant "only for".
Is the team writing the documentation an entirely separate entity from the Adwords API Team?
Thanks again for your prompt response.

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for pointing out those areas of our docs that could use improvement. I'll look into updating the docs accordingly.
Thanks,
