[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Alert flag appears with no alert

[Ben Shum]

Hi Jim,

For me, I've seen enough random nonsensical data migrate from our 
previous legacy systems into Evergreen to not trust that the data is 
meant to make sense from the get-go.  We've done quite a bit of data 
cleanup in our database post-migrations.

That said, are you suggesting that there ought to be a way for Evergreen 
to detect when staff are adding to an alert field only spaces and 
prevent the field from being saved?  If so, I think that'd be an 
interesting new feature to consider.
