How to fix: Inconsistent with related attribute

Add consistent/compatible values for related product data source attribute

In this article


Why this issue is happening

The value that 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 be served. You must either set installment.credit_type to 'Lease' or give an appropriate full purchase price for the vehicle.
