 * The Google Validator still marks the YOAST output with
    Missing field “mainEntity”
 * Is there a Bugfix upcoming or a workaround available?
 * PS: We’re using the standard Block Editor and right FAQ markup

 * Hello Afach,
 * Thanks for reaching out about that error.
 * Not only do you need to set the Page type to FAQ Page in the schema tab of the
   Yoast SEO metabox, but you also need to use the Yoast FAQ block in adding content
   to the page. Examining [https://www.hammer-beef.de/faq/](https://www.hammer-beef.de/faq/),
   the Yoast FAQ block was not used in constructing that Questions and Answer page.
 * Can you confirm how the FAQs were added?

 * Hello Maybelleyne
 * we build it with the standard block editor, so the YOAST TOC could be used for
   anchors etc.
 * With the YOAST FAQ element the validation works.
    But it’s not possible to have
   an automatically generated index above like with the TOC so, right?
