Most likely you edit attributes such a way that import broken.

For example you had a "color" attribute with values "green", "red" and "yellow" possible and the products containing each of them.

Then you deleted "red" out of possible values and importing products where color is 'red' producing errors.

There are different kinds of attribute inputs. If your attribute input is Dropdown, you need to have all of your possible options added as labels before you try to import those items.

In other words, like u/levashovbiz said: If you have a color attribute with an input type of dropdown, and you want to import products with a color attribute of blue yellow and red, blue yellow and red all have to be entered as labels under the color attribute.

If you don't want to have to enter all options manually, you can create attributes with the input being text instead of dropdown.

The obvious downside to that is potential lack of data uniformity. if the color option is red, you can accidentally enter Red, red, Red with spaces before and after, Der etc and they'll all be valid options. Using a dropdown will lead to better data uniformity
