Hi, I saw that in the recent v201806 release of the API, there is now the ability to mutate ads. This would make some things simpler for us where we're currently doing removal and adds to accomplish the same thing, so it'd be nice to use it. However, I'm a little hesitant, because something seems wrong about it. According to https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/ad-features#mutating_ads_for_v201806_and_later, you can mutate the Ad by using the new AdService, setting the id field of the Ad, setting whatever fields you want to change, and sending it with the SET operator. The part that worries me is that ad ids are not globally unique, even within a single account, but are unique only within an ad group (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/objects-methods). So, it seems unsafe and error prone to be able to modify an ad by specifying just its id, as you could have more than one ad in your account with that id, leading to modifying the wrong ad or an error (if the AdWords API is checking for this and returning a SOAP fault for it)? Or am I missing something?
