 * Hi guys,
    I also get the error “Missing fild “name”. And, moreover, the code 
   that Google Search Console shows is a large and empty array of empty reviews,
   like this:
 * `{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":"5","reviewCount":13},"review":[{"@type":"
   Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":""},"description":"","reviewRating":{"
   @type":"Rating","bestRating":"5","ratingValue":"5","worstRating":"1"}},{"@type":"
   Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":""},"description":"","reviewRating":{"
   @type":"Rating","bestRating":"5","ratingValue":"5","worstRating":"1"}},{"@type":"
   Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":""},"description":"","reviewRating":{"
   @type":"Rating","bestRating":"5","ratingValue":"5","worstRating":"1"}},{"@type":"
   Review","author":`

 * We checked it and it seems you’ve added reviews schema but have not put the name
   on it.
 * Can you please check it once by modifying and adding the name of the product 
   and let me know back? So that we will help you accordingly to resolve your issue.

 * We have inspected your URL link you have share but we didn’t encounter any such
   issue with “Missing field ‘name’”. [https://prnt.sc/24d3c6o](https://prnt.sc/24d3c6o)
 * Can you please let us know if you are modifying schema or auto fetching the schema?
   Can you please share the screenshots of your configuration.

 * I have added another plugin that seems to supply correct schema to more pages,
   including the “name” field that was missing.
 * Unfortunately there are still problems with the review schema:
 * This page: [https://www.benlinders.com/shop/obtendo-valor-de-retrospectivas-ageis-ebook/](https://www.benlinders.com/shop/obtendo-valor-de-retrospectivas-ageis-ebook/)
 * is reported in Google search console with error “Missing review item name”.
 * If I look with the schema validator, the product tab includes a review but without
   the “name” field.
 * [https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.benlinders.com%2Fshop%2Fobtendo-valor-de-retrospectivas-ageis-ebook%2F](https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.benlinders.com%2Fshop%2Fobtendo-valor-de-retrospectivas-ageis-ebook%2F)
 * I’m using a schema type “Product” where I added the field “Name” with the value“
   Title”. That doesn’t seem to work in all cases.
 * And there are several other fields missing that are blocking indexing, such as“
   RatingVlaue”. I’m trying to add those in the Product Schema, but it’s hard to
   find the proper field that have values.
 * Any suggestions on how I can explore these issues and debug them?
