-      todo: can I turn control labels into hyperlinks for getting to feeder records?  If not then need to find a way to accomplish it        
-                e.g. can workorder status title be changed to a hyper link to status list
-                e.g. can projects title be turned to a hyper link to projects list
-                ideally not in menu because it would be a lot on a workorder and need space for wo graph subitem links       
-     
-      todo: failed saved on a grandchild item shouldn't preclude the rest saving
-        e.g. if there is a concurrency error on a child that shouldn't block the rest but a fatal error probably should
-		v.next? needs planning, some things should fail the whole op maybe
-      todo: do we need a dirty indicator at every level??
-      todo: "delete selected item" text instead of "Delete" for subitems
-      todo: workordercustomX translation keys not set yet, just copy workorderItem ones I guess
+todo: need to add a popup error if attempting to save from locked to locked state and there are other changes that need to be saved 
+	(or let error from server handle it?? Not a first class UI experience though and might be a quite common mistake)
