In Staging - Protocol Validation Improvements

Previously, the only time someone filling out a Protocol knew whether a certain unfilled field was required was when they hit the Submit button. These improvements provide study teams a better understanding of which form fields are required and decrease delays or freezes when interacting with required fields. 

Goals we addressed with this work include

• Increase confidence in form completeness
• Increase accuracy in reporting form completeness
• Decrease the percent of submissions with blank required fields
• Increase the percent required fields filled in on 'notify PI' button click
• Decrease delays or freezes when interacting with required fields
