Schema warning about QAPage on Question type

Question

I have a page with multiple Question and Answers and I'm getting the following warning on each question:

Missing a QAPage markup item on page to which this item should be associated.

---

This is example markup:

<div itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Question">
  <h3 class="question" itemprop="name text">This is the question?</h3>
  <div class="answer" id="IdForTheAnswer" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Answer">
    <div itemprop="text">
      <p>This is the answer text.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

---

And below is the example warning from https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ :

Question | 0 ERRORS | 1 WARNING

What is this warning actually asking me to provide?

What I've tried unsuccessfully so far:

1. Remove the id from the acceptedAnswer
2. Use suggestedAnswer instead of acceptedAnswer
3. Provide the Question with a mainEntityOfPage

Answer 1

Ok so after an entire day of trying I finally stumbled on the answer.

I was getting that same warning if I removed everything but the question item, so it's something related to that. I tried a lot of things and on a hunch I ended up wrapping the whole collection of questions in this:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/FAQPage">
  <!-- Rest of Q&A markup -->
</div>

And now I get valid schema without any errors or warnings.

I feel like the documentation and error messages are not very good, or I just don't understand this ecosystem and its resources yet!

p.s. I also tried the QAPage itemtype but that requires a lot more props and doesn't actually describe the page I'm building, so FAQPage comes closest.
