I should have been more specific. I am changing the url of a COPY of an existing AdGroupAd that I have already read in order to create the new one using an ADD operation. I create a copy of it before I make the URL changes, of course. Before I can add, I have to remove the read only fields. This works in most cases but there's always exceptions thrown in certain weird cases like this. A copy of an approved Ad should be submittable under any circumstance which is why this is getting really frustrating working with v2009: I'm dealing with a new and different API error each day just trying to copy a new Ad and disabling the old Ad.
