Re: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Thanks Sreelakshmi. That makes sense. Does the SET operation in step 4 act like creating a completely new sitelink that creates a new ID etc. or is it simply just acting like an update/edit function to the already created sitelink? Thanks! Pat On Tuesday, January 29, 2019 at 4:11:32 PM UTC-5

Re: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Thanks Sreelakshmi! To confirm, the API doesn't have the ability to edit URLs for regular image display ads, youtube, or gmail ads? Will it ever have that capability? On Thursday, November 1, 2018 at 3:09:01 PM UTC-4, Sreelakshmi Sasidharan (AdWords API Team) wrote: > > Hello Pat, > > Starti
