 TODO: UI would be greatly enhanced if server defined form customization rules for required fields REGULAR fields only (custom are already handled) were incorporated into client end before roundtripping to the server
 	- Right now it has to save the record to get the return errors about required regular fields, that is shit.  The client is easily able to tell what is required in the form customization so it should be able to surface that up front
 	- This will save bandwidth and annoyance factor 1000 for people
+	- ERROR MESSAGE: 
+		- Currently it appears identically to the stock required but should indicate it's user required
+		- Need new or maybe already exists locale key for it, currently it's this:  //   "ErrorRequiredFieldEmpty": "{0} is a required field.  Please enter a value for {0}",

 TODO: Widget edit form, new record sb time and dates pre-filled in? Server involved? How to handle new record initial date set?
 	- Seeing a few issues that are probably related to having an empty record on start of new object
