Issues when Duplicating Ad via Post ID

[mjajou]

Hi everyone!

Every time I try to duplicate an ad via Post ID from my testing ad group to my scaling ad group, I notice these two issues:
1. The selected objective only supports posts that were published on Facebook or Instagram. Please select a different post (As seen in screenshot attached below)
2. Only 1 primary text gets copied over, and there isn't an option to add any headlines

Can I safely ignore these warnings? Meta let's me publish the ad anyway

For #1 - have you tried to just select the post instead of entering the ID? you should keep all the engagement as it's an organic post and that can solve that pretty easy. Also, you can try to copy-paste the ad itself instead of duplicating if you're working within the same campaign
For #2 - It's normal. If you take a post as ad, you will use the text of the organic post and you can't add any other text on top

It is not an organic post, its just a normal ad I am trying to duplicate

That screenshot is not from a normal ad, it is from the post selector. If you wanna duplicate an ad, just do ctrl C+ ctrl V and you will duplicate the same ad
