Solution
Edit SKU attrubute value and delete all HTML tags (<a>
, <strong>
, <b>
etc.)
If it is not possible due to some reason, you can rollback modifications in the code listed in Cause section which imposed such restrictions (by copying app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/Catalog/ProductController.php into app/code/local/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/Catalog/ProductController.php and changing local copy).Posted in: Troubleshooting
