Chemical treatments submitted without required information

[brennanwebster]

Example activity_incoming_data_id 204186, this is a Draft version of an activity that has the required information in the activity_payload. The next version that was Submitted is 204187, which is missing the calculation_results object in the activity_payload.

This is one instance of something that has been happening fairly frequently, which is Chemical Treatment records somehow being Submitted without required information (activities created through the form are effected by this issue and batch records are not). What information is missing varies but it is usually the herbicides, invasive_plants, or calculation_results objects in the activity_payload. I have contacted the users who have created these records to re-enter the information and they have done so successfully.

I have not been able to replicate the issue myself, even entering the exact same information as a broken chemical treatment record does not cause the issue to happen.

The reason I notice this issue when it happens is the missing information in Submitted records causes the database-refresh-views cronjob to fail to refresh the chemical treatment view. Normally I set the broken record to Draft status and email the user to re-enter the information, and then manually refresh the view.

This issue only began happening in the last few months, so I suspect some recent change broke the rube goldberg machine that is the chemical treatment form.
