If you’re unable to connect a position to a job opening and see a validation error, it’s usually caused by a broken or outdated connection in the background.
When editing a job opening, you might try to add a connected position but get an error like:
“An error occurred while validating entities.”
This can happen even if the position itself is valid.
Here’s what typically causes it and what you can try on your end:
A position or job was previously connected, then deleted
That connection still exists behind the scenes, blocking new selections
What to try
Open the job opening and go to the connected positions section
If you see any existing connected positions:
Remove them
Save the job opening
Re-add the correct position
