+Get broken server rule to display in vue properly
+see the "bit sketchy but seems to work" bit
+Ensure a form-wide server validation error displays properly 
+	- this page has an idea along the lines of what I was thinking: https://dev-squared.com/2018/01/18/using-modelstate-validation-vue-js-net-core-2/

 End to end action
 	- The faster I get to a fully working basic level like being able to do data entry and submit to server new or updated records, the faster I can flesh out all the rest
 	- Code the submit data to server route for update
