Cause

There could be many reasons for this issue, one of the common reasons is incorrect configuration of Position object under 'Configure Object Definition'. It may be possible that some fields are configured as mandatory fields by setting Required to Yes even though the visibility of those fields is set to 'Not Visible'.

1: Go to Admin Center

2: Under Company Settings click on 'Configure Object Definition'

3: Select Object Definition in 1st drop down and Position in 2nd drop down, as below:
