The result is that the product can be active even without those specifications being filled.\n\n\n\n## Simulation\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Create a product via API: https://developers.vtex.com/vtex-rest-api/reference/post-product\n2. Select a category that has mandatory product specifications\n3. Do not fulfill the mandatory specifications\n4. Verify that the product has status \"Active\" when it shouldn't have.\n\n\n\n## Workaround\n\n\n\n\n\nNo workaround."}
