Hi I am trying to verify my site using dynadot, this is the instruction google gives me

Follow the steps below to create a DNS (Domain Name System) record that proves to Google that you own the domain.
1. Add the TXT record below to the DNS configuration for website.com.
google-site-verification=XXXXXXX
2. Click Verify below.
When Google finds this DNS record, we'll make you a verified owner of the domain. (Note: DNS changes may take some time. If we don't find the record immediately, we'll check for it periodically.)
To stay verified, don't remove the DNS record, even after verification succeeds.

When I update the setting in dynadot I get this message
Could not save settings.
Please enter at least one A/AAAA/CNAME/Forwarding record.

Can you provide me help with this

You must select "A, AAAA, CNAME, or Forwarding" for the base Domain Record type.  Once you add that, you can add the TXT record and then save your changes.

Hi - I have same issue - what is A/AAAA/CNAME/Forwarding record? and how do I put one in?
thanks

TXT records cannot be saved to the root domain by themselves. If you want to set a TXT record under our DNS, you will need to have a main record type (usually an A record or Forward). If you do not have anywhere to point your domain, you can select Forward and forward the domain to itself (http://www.YOURDOMAINHERE.com. This will allow you to set the TXT you need.
