Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Whenever I request an update on my iPad when I’m logged into my account on the iPad iTunes Store request my daughters password instead of my password to update my apps on my iPad when it shows I’m logged in on my account. I can’t update my apps.

An app is forever tied to the Apple ID that acquired it -
An App Store app is forever tied to the Apple ID used to acquire it (paid or free). The Apple ID is encoded into the licensed copy that is downloaded. It is in the copy's DNA. That is the only Apple ID that can redownload or update the app.
If your daughter acquired the app, only her Apple ID can update the app.
M1 Mac mini, macOS 14.4.1; Watch, series 7 GPS/cellular, watchOS 10.4; iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17.4.1; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 17.4; HomePods, audioOS 17.4 and Airport Express w/ Airplay 2
Thank you can I delete the apps then redownload them under my name or they tied to her forever now. She is grown adult now not living with me anymore and it’s not a big issue for her but doing the grandpa thing I need your help to get my wacky tech stuff to work grates me!
Downloading new copies while you are signed into your Apple ID will assign them to your ID going forward.
Thanks for your help that worked.
I am unable to update my apps on my iPad when logged into my Apple ID, instead of my daughter’s
