On contributions, changing the workup type can leave some orphaned data fields #110

When the workup type is changed, the available sub-fields can also change. If there is data in a field which is not in the new workup type, the field is hidden from view, but the auto-validation warning shows that the field is still in the record. Warning message can help find the orphaned data field, but the messaging may not be clear enough for general users.

Need to check if the orphaned data fields are included in the .pbtxt file.
