Walmart error: value not in the closed list for this attribute

Applies to: MP_ITEM, MP_MAINTENANCE

What causes this error

Many Walmart attributes are 'closed lists' — only specific values are accepted. For example, Condition accepts only the exact spec value (e.g. 'New'). Any near-miss like 'new', 'Brand New', or 'NEW ' (trailing space) is rejected as not on the list.

How to fix it

Option A: fix it manually

  1. Identify the attribute named in the error and look up its acceptable values in the Item Spec.
  2. Match casing and spelling exactly — closed lists are case- and whitespace-sensitive.
  3. For multi-select attributes, separate values with the spec's delimiter, not commas of your own choosing.
  4. Replace your value with the exact accepted one and re-upload.

Option B: fix it automatically

This issue can be detected and prepared for automatic repair by the Walmart fixer.
