Google Search Console doesn't like Checkout page set to noindex

Google Search Console has detected:

Submitted URL marked 'noindex'

for

https://www.domain.com/en/checkout

Even if I set the checkout menu item's / metadata / Robots / to "index" it does not affect the checkout page's <meta name=robots content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW, NOARCHIVE, NOSNIPPET"/>

I'm assuming that there was a reason VM put this hardcoded robot content in the checkout PHP.  But I still need to resolve this coverage issue in Google Search Console to make the client happy.

What do you think is the best way to deal with this?

checkout page s not good for seo. So od not add it to goggle search index

Jumbo!

You need to exclude the checkout page menu item from your sitemap.

For cart we use "no index" too, is the right option.
But important - url for cart we don't send into sitemaps.
