Template Item missing a required attribute

When our data was originally imported to Acumatica, some template items were imported with no value in some of the required attribute fields.  I now cannot do any maintenance on these items because I get the error “The value of the STYLE attribute must be specified” (in this case the item has no value in the attribute named STYLE.)

I have tried adding the attribute in the template and the updating matrix items. It does not work.

I have tried adding a value in the item itself and I cannot.

I have tried adding the value to the item using an import scenario.  It does not work.

Can anyone help me with this please?

​@RoslynRule , it’s probably a multi-step process. Disassociate stock / non-stock items from the template item; fix the template item; attach stock / non-stock items to the template item. Depending on the number of items that need to be fixed, you can either do it manually or work on a series of import scenario or even a custom software solution (through API access).

Let us know if we can help.

Im not sure what that means.  I have access to most stuff.  Does DB mean database?  How do I find that.  I search database and only got two inquiries.

When stuff is working I like to make sure what is in the raw tables before assuming anything.

Is the attribute (type of combo) set as Variant in the Item Class configuration?

​@Yuri Karpenko I cant seem to disassociate the matrix item from the template.  Full disclosure Im using MYOB Advanced that because MYOB Acumatica.  Could that be the difference.

Not sure if there is update for this one, but I think the customization package to enable the associating/disassociating matrix and template, mentioned here works for us the last time.

Yes - you will need to install this customization in order to be able to uncouple the item from the template, then as ​@Yuri Karpenko said you can make the changes.
