I almost want "soft-required" fields in places like the patron editor. |

"require" data in a field, but allow the field to be empty if the user forces it. |

useful for something like a DOB field, where there are circumstances where you need to edit an existing patron and you don't know the DOB / don't have the patron in front of you to ask... |

since there are circumstances where you'd be unable to save a patron AND you might not have the required information, marking a field as required is going to either prevent you from making the edit you need to make, or will encourage guessing / fake placeholder data. |

but a prompt on save saying "required field DOB is blank: save anyway?" (or some better wording) could be an improvement. |

and/or a warning color / indicator for those "required but not required" fields. |
