The following models do not have associated prefabs

I’m sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I honestly couldn’t find a forum called “Asset Store Publishing Support” or anything remotely similar. Please move this post if you know of a better place for it.

I’m running the Asset Store Validator on a package I want to publish. It has given me an error as “Fail”! The error is “The following models do not have associated prefabs”.

The models it shows are meshes I am using as part of a particle system. The meshes are used in the Meshes field of the Renderer property. I’ve seen quite a few packages that do this. The other packages I’ve seen never have prefabs for meshes that are intended to be used this way because a prefab provides no value as it is not required for the particle system and the end user will never need a prefab of that direct mesh for anything.

My questions are:
Can I just ignore this Failure message?
Will the package get auto-rejected by Unity if I try to publish it with this Failure message there?

You must create a prefab with your mesh

Is the Particle System which references the Mesh part of a Prefab? That should satisfy the dependency.

The particle system which references the mesh is part of a prefab. It did not satisfy the dependency.

Is that a bug?
