Meta Catalog: Required field is missing

A field Meta marks as required is empty or unmapped, so the item is rejected before it can serve. Meta requires id, title, description, availability, condition, price, link, and image_link on every product (plus at least one of brand, GTIN, or MPN for e-commerce). The same error template fires for whichever field is missing; the field name and numeric code change (the link case shown here is #2061015). The usual root cause is a feed export that drops a column or names it something Meta does not recognise.

Open Commerce Manager, Catalog, Issues (or Data sources, then the affected feed) to see exactly which field is missing on which items. Add the field in your CMS or PIM, confirm the column name matches Meta's attribute, re-export, then re-upload or wait for the next scheduled fetch.

Fill the missing field with one rule instead of per-SKU edits. A default-value rule sets a constant (e.g. availability to "in stock" when empty), and a mapping rule pulls the value from another field you already have (e.g. write g:brand from a vendor column). The rule applies to every matching product in the served feed, and the source export stays untouched.
