Make new project PI selection steps clearer #594

Closed matthew-li closed 3 weeks ago

matthew-li commented 5 months ago

In the new project request flow, users sometimes neglect the following guidance:

Select an existing user to be a Principal Investigator of the project. You may search for the user in the selection field. If the desired user is not listed, you may skip this step and specify information for a new PI in the next step.

In particular, when not seeing their PI listed in the dropdown, rather than navigating to the next step, they often incorrectly choose themselves as the PI.

Make this guidance more prominent in some way (e.g., by bolding, adding help text to the field, etc.).
