RE: set devices while doing mutate campaignCriterion operation

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Afsane,

Please note that not all campaign types will allow you to adjust bids. Based on 
your error, it looks like you are trying to mutate a criterion that isn't 
mutable for your campaign type. Can you please provide complete logs of the 
request/response to the API so that I can better investigate what is causing 
the "This operator cannot be applied to a criterion of this type" error?

In the meantime, you may find this guide helpful as it outlines bid adjustment 
eligibility for each campaign type.

Thanks,
Danica Calusin, Google Ads API Team

set devices while doing mutate campaignCriterion operation

[Afsane Ghafoori]

Hi there,

I want to set devices for the campaign while create and I am using the 
mutate operation. based on documentation at campaignCriterion operation I 
should be able to set Device criterion,

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/google.ads.googleads.v2.resources#google.ads.googleads.v2.resources.CampaignCriterion

 but when I tried that I got this error:

This operator cannot be applied to a criterion of this type


 I read other posts and based on this link, it was mentioned in order to 
exclude a device, we need to set the bid_modifier to 0 for those criterion 
ids

given the fact that criterion id can not set in mutate operation, Could you 
please guide me on how to set bid_modifier to 0 for devices I want to 
exclude while creating the campaign?
