Unable to update ad_group.targeting_setting.target_restrictions #62
Description
Hey Ben,
I'm not even sure if this is supposed to be possible but I'm having trouble updating ad_group.targeting_setting.target_restrictions it appears to throw a server side error saying the field is immutable. Do you know if this is an error, functionality that is yet to be implemented, or soon to be no longer supported?
I did look in the documentation https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/google.ads.googleads.v1.common#google.ads.googleads.v1.common.TargetingSetting
On other fields that are non mutable there is a note that says something like "This field is required for CREATE operations and is prohibited on UPDATE operations."
This note is not on TargetingSetting, and historically these values were mutable on the AdWords API. So I'm not entirely sure whats going on.
Below is the API log incase I'm making some mistake and you have some suggestions. Thanks!
Peter
