I had this problem of Warning: Missing Required Field "Updated" not too long ago and this procedure helped solve the problem once and for all. I only tried the first procedure and it worked for me. If  you have similar missing required field update bug,this post is a sure fix for it.

When you check your blog hosted with Blogger for Google Authorship with Rich snippet testing tool mostly you get two common warning and error messages 'Warning: Missing required field "updated".' and 'Warning: Missing required hCard "author".
Warning: Missing required field "updated"

Note: Before making any changes to the template please take the backup. Link given below will help you.
› Learn how to edit Blogger template?

First Method:
Here we look for first method to correct Authorship markup warnings and error in Blogger template
  1. Go to Blogger Dashboard › Select Blog › Click on Template › Proceed › Edit HTML
  2. Search for 'hfeed' and 'hentry' one by one and rename all instances those exist in template with 'h-feed' and 'h-entry' respectively. 
  3. Save template and now check for authorship markup warnings and errors with Rich Snippet testing tool.
You'll get a smile on your face because no markup warnings and errors will be shown.

Second Method:
Now we move to second method which is slightly difficult from first one.
  1. Go to Blogger Dashboard › Select Blog › Click on Template › Proceed › Edit HTML
  2. Now press Ctrl+F to find the code timestamp-link   or  published   like below
<a class='timestamp-link' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>

     4. Now care fully change it to the code below

<a class='timestamp-link' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='updated published' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>

    5. Now have a smile!

Note: If that code doesn't work please try this: 

<a class='updated' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='updated published' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>
