 * Hello [@addabuzz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/addabuzz/),
 * Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin. The error you are seeing, _“missing field
   mainEntity”_ occurs because a QAPage requires a “mainEntity” with the question
   and answer on the page. You can find more information [here](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/qapage#qa-page).
 * Currently, the Yoast SEO plugin does not support adding the Questions and Answers
   through the user interface in the plugin. However, there’s a feature request 
   on this with our product team.
 * **Alternative option**
   The alternative option is to add the missing mainEntity
   schema through our API: [https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/api](https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/api/)
