Validation change
This is a minor release which changes how validation is done for staging calls. This change affects 2 cases when an input definition has a validation table defined:
- an input is not supplied and that input has no default defined
- an input is supplied as blank
In prior releases, blank inputs were validated against the defined table. In this release, the blank inputs are not validated. Some inputs were not being used for staging so it was perfectly valid to not supply them and the errors were extra noise. If the input is used in the staging calculations there could possible be error produced later in the staging process which is the correct behavior.
