Airmass warning in WebObs submission tool

Not sure if this is a new issue or not…

I was trying to submit some observations using the WebObs submission tool. I’m not sure if the recent work on submitting has been rolled into this or not.

Anyway, I was using a new version of Tycho Tracker to create the AAVSO report. The new version reset some defaults and the option to include “airmass” was left unchecked. When I tried to submit it I got:

At first I thought it was preventing me from submitting due to the airmass but I guess it will let me. After all, the airmass is an optional parameter according to the spec.

I guess my comment is that the message implies it is mandatory (plus I’m not sure the snarky comment is necessary).

Should it be warning that the airmass is missing given it is not required?
