MassBuilds Potentially Discarding Data and/or Failing Validations #313

Open mzagaja opened 3 years ago

Describe the bug One more thing about this pass through MassBuilds that is bothering me. A number of projects that I created in the App were missing essential data, where the fields are flagged in beige, that should have prevented me from creating the project in the first place. Quite a few were missing GFA figures, unit counts or both. I know I always made an effort to enter the latter two fields when these projects were created and don’t think I could have sent them for review had I not done so. What’s more, the land area field was blank for virtually veery project I looked at and again I know I just about always filled that in.

We have learned after looking at a different issue that it appears MassBuilds will discard submitted values if they do not match the expected type on the backend without any feedback to the user. This may be the source of this issue. Next step for this would be to work on a feature to translate validations to the user side.
