Add Evidence form's auto-fill for diseases should show default blank field if disease not found in db #1534

Closed jmcmichael closed 3 years ago

Currently, if a source suggestion includes a disease not in CIViC's db, the auto-fill feature will check the 'could not find disease' and paste the disease name into the disease field. This can reproduce non-standard or misspelled disease names from the suggestion to the new evidence. Instead if the disease cannot be found, the default blank disease field should be displayed, giving the user the opportunity to enter a disease that's actually in CIViC's db. If they still cannot find the disease at that point, they can check the 'could not find the disease' and re-enter the disease name.
