Hey Google team, We have a question about how to edit ads for app campaigns through the Google Ads API. We set up an app campaign in our test account with some headlines. When we tried to update those headlines the request failed saying that the field was immutable (I'll link the request body and response in this thread). Upon further inspection, it looks like that app ads are immutable <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/ads/ad-types#description_of_each_ad_type> (in our case we were using an installs ad which I believe is the AppAd type).
We noticed however that app ads are mutable in the Google Ads UI (we tried manually adding and removing some headlines). Is there a way to also do this via the Google Ads API given that this can be done in the UI? Thanks in advance.
