Modify field values (bulk operations) fail form validation for address fields

[kevwalsh]

Describe the defect

Bulk modify field values is not ideal, but it is sometimes required, such as for Facility Operating status.

Editing a field via Bulk edit can result in form validation issues if some required fields are not set on the node.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to bulk edit page
2. Filter by Vet Center
3. Select Modify Field Values
4. Select all 403 Vet Centers
5. Select the Apply to selected items
6. Select the page introduction field >
7. Add the field value "test" and select Apply.

Repeat this with Events instead of Vet Center

Note console error (see screenshot)

Repeat

Expected behavior Bulk modifying field values should not fail form validation on fields that are not included in the action.

Screenshots

Possible implementation

• https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bulk_edit/issues/3024419 (might change the intended behavior)
• ignore address field validation
  • remove Address fields from the Modify field value options
• Consider html5 validation epic
• Remove required status for migrated fields (but this doesn't help with event content type where address form validation is failing)

ACs

• [x] Spike around a solution
• [x] Validate with other engineers
• [ ] Remove address field from all Modify field value operations on various views (admin/content/bulk, admin/content/events)
• [ ] Automated test: field_address (or ideally, any Address field) cannot be added as an eligible field in Bulk operations -> Modify field value. (look for it on save of the view config form)

I found another example of this where a required field fails validation during bulk operatoins to modify field values. to reproduce, go to /admin/content/bulk?title=&type=faq_multiple_q_a&moderation_state=All&taxonomy_entity_index_tid_depth=All

and try to change the Section (fka Owner) field for several nodes at once using Modify Field Values

Here's the required field. A work around for this one might be to not load an empty paragraph field, since a paragraph is not required (but its fields are, once a paragraph exists).

This is an issue with Bulk edit functionality, not specific to Facilities
