Form field validation is necessary before the data is sent to the server to prevent attacks such as SQL injection. Chooser does not send any information to the server, so it is not necessary. These values are only used to create the license code on the 'Mark Your Work' section. We have already discussed sanitizing user input in #177, so you can find more context there.

@Cronus1007 to elaborate, a single user is consuming their own input + output in one sitting, only on the client-side, so we don't need to validate the information at all. What they type is what they'll get.
