Unable to update assets or headlines of a responsive display ad

[Lokesh Lalwani]

Hi,

I am trying to update the headlines of an ad using the rest API but I am getting an error stating that this field is immutable but I am able to edit this from the UI. is there any way to update headlines, descriptions or image assets of a Responsive Display Ad.

Thanks,

Lokesh

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. If you are using the AssetService to update these assets, this will not be allowed as the AssetService only supports create operations. According to this chart, you should be able to mutate responsive display ads. As recommended here, you should use the AdService to mutate ads without losing any performance metrics. 

Please let us know if you continue to have issues.

I am using this endpoint https://googleads.googleapis.com/v8/customers/{customer_id}/adGroupAds/{adgroup~ad}. I am also specifying all required update masks as well but still, I am unable to update the headlines or the assets. My Ad Type is "ResponsiveDisplayAd"

Hi Lokesh,

Thanks for getting back to us. I work with Matt and let me assist you with this.

So our team can investigate further, could you please provide us with the complete request and response logs, with the request-id while updating the headlines or the assets fails?

For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag. This will cause the tool to include the HTTP response headers in the output.

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.
