Field validation and UI feedback #1109

Open joelbrock opened 2 years ago

Improve user experience by using required fields and validation to ensure all req'd db filelds are complete in any forms throughout CORE-Office. Use infoboxes to provide feedback. All this is built into bootstrap.

Specific mention made here of the House Coupons editor. https://gitlab.com/ttsc/south-philly/-/issues/117 DB update fails when Limit field is blank but UI provides no feedback.

I'm sure there are other instances of this, but this is the only specific example.

That's an excellent example. It's not the case that simply the DB update fails when the Limit field is blank. The DB update might fail, depending on details of the underlying database configuration, or it might succeed. I can't think of a solution to these kind of environment-specific issues that doesn't involve documenting each example as it is discovered.
