I have Save button on the toolbar, but the user may press it later. In other words, I just removed the info from one record, moved to another, then did other changes and then I can press Save. I can also add few new records and don't add info into one of them.
I'm already getting INDEX doesn't support NULL error from CA Init, so I guess it's due to bad data I already have.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
