In internal logs, the exception may be found as \"The Country field is required\", under the 400 status code.\n\n\n\n## Simulation\n\n\n\n- to create an orderForm (without items yet)\n- to add an address through the SendAttachment API (shippingData), without the country property\n- to try adding an item; it'll generate a generic exception\n\n\n\n## Workaround\n\n\nIt's required to ensure that every address contains the \"country\" information since the frontend implementation."}
