Description

User wants to edit/change an existing catalog AD SET — deep control: budget, bid amount/strategy, optimization goal, full targeting (geo/age/gender/interests/behaviors/custom audiences/placements), schedule/dayparting, frequency caps, attribution, destination. PLUS catalog-specific: swap the product set, change the conversion event, or change the RETARGETING window/events (rebuilds the product audience). Only the fields you pass change.
