Hi Filip,

Thank you for your follow up, our team would be happy to help. You may refer to 
my responses below :

1. Exclude certain Criterion via API?

You can CREATE the AdGroupCriterion with the negative=true, if you wish to 
initially exclude a specific criterion.

2. Re-include that Criterion via API?

If by re-include what you meant is to target the initially excluded the 
criterion, you will first need to perform a REMOVE operation for the excluded 
criterion. You can then CREATE that criterion again, with the same details, but 
now with negative=false.

Re: Once Demographic Criterion is set it cannot be changed

[Filip Pećanac]

Hi Yasar,

Thanks for the assistance.

So once I create an AdGroup via API all Demographic criterions are selected 
by default.

What would be your suggestions (or an example if you could provide) in 
order to:

1. Exclude certain Criterion via API?
2. Re-include that Criterion via API?

Whenever I try to accomplish the second step, I get the "immutable filed" 
message.

Sorry to bother you, but I am new in this, so it might take me a while to 
get it done properly :)

Regards,
Filip

Re: Once Demographic Criterion is set it cannot be changed

['Google Ads API Forum Advisor' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum]

Hi Filip,

This is Yasar and I work with Aryeh. Let me assist you with this.

Kindly note that the negative field in AdGroupCriterion is immutable. That 
said, re-including said age range by simply removing line 'negative' => true 
from your code won’t work and you will get the "Immutable field" message since 
the 'negative' field is immutable.

To avoid this error, I recommend you to remove the existing AdGroupCriterion 
first, then re-add it by setting 'negative' => false in your code.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Yasar

Re: Once Demographic Criterion is set it cannot be changed

[Filip Pećanac]

Hi Aryeh,

Thanks for the response.

Let me just clarify the situation step by step, so that you can understand 
it better and let me know if I haven't done something properly:

1. I create an adGroup via API (automatically all age ranges are selected)
2. I use negative criterion to exclude one of the ranges, lets say 35 to 44 
- I check it on Google Ads interface and it works fine
3. I try to re-include this age range by simply removing this line *'negative' 
=> true* and then i get the "Immutable field" message
4. I can continue unselecting age ranges with step no2, but when I try to 
include them again i get the same message

So, instead of step 3 what should I do to be able to accomplish this?

Ps. From your previous response I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do, so 
that's why I am back here :)

Regards,
Filip

Hi Filip,

Negative is immutable. To switch a criterion from positive to negative, remove 
then re-add it.

Once Demographic Criterion is set it cannot be changed

[Filip Pećanac]

Hi,

When I add Demographic AdGroupCriterion via API, lets say exclude all male 
users from targeting, it works fine. For this, i use this code 

.

But later on, once I try to *include* the male population for that Ad Group 
(by removing 'negative'=>true line of code), I receive the following 
message:

*Fatal error*: Uncaught Google\ApiCore\ApiException: { "message": "Request 
contains an invalid argument.", "code": 3, "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT", 
"details": [ { "@type": 0, "data": 
"type.googleapis.com\/google.ads.googleads.v8.errors.GoogleAdsFailure" }, { 
"@type": 0, "data": [ { "errorCode": { "fieldError": "IMMUTABLE_FIELD" }, 
"message": "The field attempted to be mutated is immutable.", "location": { 
"fieldPathElements": [ { "fieldName": "operations", "index": 0 }, { 
"fieldName": "create" }, { "fieldName": "negative" in 
*/XYZ/google-ads-php/vendor/google/gax/src/ApiException.php* on line *139*

Is there a way to update AdGroupCriterions once they are previously added?
