Adding Existing SKU to Parent - Error with Bullet Point 1
I'm trying to bring an existing SKU in as a variation in a parent / child group. As soon as add it as a variation and upload the image, the Product Description tab gets the error icon and it tells me "the value in this field is required" under Bullet Point 1. Bullet Point 1 is populated with info (I've redacted my text on the screenshot but it it there). It won't let me save the edits or move forward. Any ideas on what's going on here?

Have you tried to just edit the ASIN first and THEN add it to the variation relationship?

Are you following my directions? Edit and save FIRST before trying to add to the relationship?
If so try one edit at a time and report what happens. Amazon has new bullet rules that must be followed!
Do not include below information. Bullet points with below information will be removed or updated:
- Special characters such as ™, ®, €, …, †, ‡, o, ¢, £, ¥, ©, ±, ~, â
- Any emojis such as ☺, ☹, ✅, ❌
- ASIN number or "not applicable" or "NA" or "n/a" or "N/A", "not eligible", "yet to decide", "to be decided", "TBD", "COPY PENDING"
- Prohibited phrases such as eco-friendly, environmentally friendly, ecologically friendly, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, Made from Bamboo, contains Bamboo, Made from Soy or contains Soy. For more information, go to General Listing Restrictions
- Prohibited guarantee information such as "Full refund" or "If not satisfied, send it back" or "Unconditional guarantee with no limit"
- Company information, website links, external hyperlinks or any contact
- Repetition in bullet points. Each bullet point must mention unique product information
- Include at least three bullet points
- Offer specific content
Writing guidelines for high-quality bullet points:
- Begin with a capital letter
- Be formatted as a sentence fragment; don't use end punctuation
- Use semicolons to separate phrases; within a single bullet point
- Use more than 10 characters but less than 255 characters
- Write numbers one to nine in full, excluding names, model numbers, and measurements
- Add header to bullet point and use ":" as separator before providing complete information
- Include a space between a digit and a measurement (for example, 60 ml)
- Use clear, natural language in the bullet points, avoid stuffing in unnecessary keywords or phrases
- Highlight product features and benefits, not the brand’s marketing story
- Highlight how the product meets the customer needs, rather than just listing fact
- Maintain data consistency across product variants
- Do not divert or refer to other products not included under this ASIN
- Remove or minimize duplication across attributes such as title, product description or product overview. Highlight additional or supporting information to help the customer make a more informed decision
- Avoid any subjective, performance, or comparative claims, unless they are verifiable on the product packaging. Do not compare your product to competitor brands
- Avoid claims relating to accolades and awards, unless the product detail page contains supporting details, such as date and awarding body
- Avoid claims about the results of consumer surveys, even if the survey collected subjective opinions, unless substantiated with the source and date
Example of high-quality bullet points:
- Cotton Fabric: Made from 100% cotton for softness and breathability
- Long Sleeve: Long sleeves add coverage and style
- Loose Fit: Relaxed fit allows for easy movement and comfort
- Machine Washable: Durable construction allows for easy care
- Versatile Style: Perfect for dance practice, playtime, or outdoor activity

Good Afternoon @Seller_nnabVJkH7gM9W,
I just wanted to stop by and check in on this discussion. Were you able to update your bullet point after support suggested to try and use an inventory file template to update that information?
Please advise if you still require assistance and I'd be happy to continue looking into this issue for you. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.
Sincerely, Cooper_Amazon

AMAZON PLEASE HELP! I have been having this same problem for several days now. I can't create any save any of my new variation listings because of the error on the first bullet point. I read every single forum recommendation and everything I could find on google and youtube. Nothing is correcting this issue.
My bullet points follow the recommendations posted in this thread precisely. Every field is filled out correctly in every part of the listing. I really need help with this as I'm trying to create parent/child listings before I ship in all my FBA.
Could amazon please respond and look into this for a fix?
My bullet points follow this recommendation that was posted on this thread.....
