– focus more on specific data needs

is this related to #391 ?

Update – the underlying problem behind the request is that there is some data integrity problems that they want to clean up on the admin side, stuff like "null" or "N.A" entered into fields, or commas that are missing in lists "OMB DHS" etc. But there's no way in the admin interface to filter out or search for requirements that have these errors in all fields so admins are left pogo-sticking into every requirement one by one to manually scan for errors.

We (and by 'we' I mean @tadhg-ohiggins ) was able to point them towards using the API to search for specific errors and pull the req-IDs for those to speed this process up, so that solves the immediate need. TBD if there is a more long-term need as we add new policies/groups to the library, but I don't think we need to do anything else this sprint.
