How StriveFormats detects this
StriveFormats parses every row of your CSV and applies Meta-specific validation rules to the additional_image_link field. Any row that violates the rule is flagged with the row number and the specific value that caused the issue.
►Technical detail
Meta's importer checks the additional_image_link field against its official import specification. Values in the wrong format are flagged because an invalid value that slips through can show up in your store as a blank field, a zero or wrong text, with no error message.
