Custom label invalid

What this means

CAT_VALIDATION_ERROR_CUSTOM_LABEL_INVALID fires when one of the custom_label_0 through custom_label_4 fields contains content that exceeds Snap's length limit or includes disallowed characters. Custom labels are advertiser-defined values used for product set segmentation.

Why this happens

Snap Catalog Manager's product schema has format and value rules per attribute. This issue is typically: missing a required attribute for the category, an invalid enum value (e.g., 'XL' submitted where 'M, L, XL' is the valid set), out-of-range numbers, or attributes that conflict across the feed.

How to fix it

  1. Look up the affected attribute in Snap Catalog Manager's product data spec.
  2. Check whether the attribute is REQUIRED vs RECOMMENDED for your product category.
  3. For enum-style attributes (gender, age_group, condition), use ONLY documented values exactly (case-sensitive).
  4. For free-text attributes, stay within the character limit and avoid promotional language.
  5. Re-submit and check the next processing cycle.
