If advertisers can\u2019t update asset groups, campaigns risk running with outdated creative, messaging, or offers \u2014 directly impacting performance and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advertisers are seeing<\/strong>. Affected users encounter an error message reading, <em>\u201cAn error occurred. Please try again later. Value is required,\u201d<\/em> when attempting to edit asset group details. The error <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears in the Google Ads UI and prevents changes from being saved, even when required fields appear complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google\u2019s response<\/strong>. Google has acknowledged the issue and says it is actively investigating. As of now, the company has not shared a timeline for a fix or provided additional guidance through official status channels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Temporary workaround<\/strong>. Advertisers can still make changes using Google Ads Editor, then upload updates directly to their accounts. While functional, the workaround adds friction for teams accustomed to managing PMAX exclusively in the web interface.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to do now<\/strong>. Advertisers running Performance Max campaigns should double-check recent asset group edits to confirm changes were successfully saved. Those planning creative updates may want to route edits through Ads Editor until the issue is resolved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next<\/strong>. Until Google ships a fix, the bug adds another layer of uncertainty to Performance Max management \u2014 reinforcing the importance of version checks and alternative workflows for advertisers relying heavily on PMAX.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First seen.<\/strong> The issue was flagged publicly by PPC professional Chelsea Harding and shared the error message she recieved on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/chelsea-h-google-ads-ecom-performance-freelancer_ppcupdates-googleadsupdates-activity-7419902009589452800-mTus\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAABU5RtAB1yM61HMd6Ska99csDVjiJlgRo6A\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
