How to fix: Inconsistent with related attribute

Add consistent/compatible values for related product data source attribute

On this page


Why this issue is happening

The value you’ve provided for this attribute isn’t consistent with the value provided for a related product data source attribute. For example, for vehicle ads, if the value for the price [price] attribute is “0.0”, then you can only use the value “Lease” for the credit type [credit_type] attribute. If you use the value “Finance” for the credit type [credit_type] attribute, your vehicle ad will not serve. You must either set installment.credit_type to “Lease” or give an appropriate full purchase price for the vehicle.


How to fix your issue

Update the value provided for the attribute to be consistent with the values provided for other related attributes.
