Why this issue is happening
One or more of your products uses a group attribute. In order for this attribute to be valid, you must submit all of the required attributes included in that group.
For example, let’s say you’ve provided the availability [availability] attribute for a product and have submitted a value of preorder (preorder) or backorder (backorder) to indicate that the product is not currently in stock, but will be in the future. In order to do this, you must also provide an availability date using the availability date [availability_date] attribute to indicate to the customer when the product will become available.
Likewise, if you’d like to run a sale on one of your products, you must submit not only the sale price effective date [sale_price_effective_date], to indicate when the sale will begin, but also the sale price [sale_price] attribute to indicate what the sale price is. Providing a sale price requires that you also provide the original price using the price [price] attribute.
