Hi All,

May I know the following questions about creative assignment?
1. May I know how can I assign an creative to multiple Ads like the DCM front-end? E.g. Like the following function in the front-end:


2. Because at the moment, we can't find the above API, so we choose to start from the Ad level (although this would not be ideal in our case as we will be making lots of API call)


I try to use the AD Patch API to edit the Creative assignment:
PATCH https://www.googleapis.com/dfareporting/v2.6/userprofiles/2078001/ads?id=309449630&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
{
 "creativeRotation": {
  "creativeAssignments": [
   {
    "creativeId": "73703397",
    "startTime": "2016-11-14T13:15:03-08:00",
    "endTime": "2019-02-14T13:15:03-08:00",
    "clickThroughUrl": {
     "landingPageId": "8141763"
    }
   }
  ]
 }
}


However, I got the following errors:
{
"error": {
 "errors": [
  {
   "domain": "global",
   "reason": "invalid",
   "message": "12058 : At least one active creative must be assigned to any active ad. Also, the creative must have \"Include in rotation\" set to \"Yes\" in your ad properties."
  }
 ],
 "code": 400,
 "message": "12058 : At least one active creative must be assigned to any active ad. Also, the creative must have \"Include in rotation\" set to \"Yes\" in your ad properties."
}
}

I checked that both the creative and Ad are active, and may I know what is the meaning of "Include in rotation" set to "yes" in your ad properties? Because I can't find this option in the front-end of creative assignment section in the creative dialog

Thanks,
Noel
