# Save is blocked with "Fix validation errors before saving"

**What you are seeing**

Save is blocked with "Fix validation errors before saving".

---

## Why it happens

One or more fields failed validation - a Required field is empty, a URL is not a safe web address, text is outside the character limits, or a number is non-numeric, not whole with decimals off, or outside Minimum/Maximum.

---

## What to do

Look for the red messages under individual fields and correct them. Each names the field by its label.

---

## A few things that catch people out

* If the feature-flag service is slow or fails, Advanced types stay blocked - the gate treats "not ready" as "not allowed".
