A number of our fields in the CRM are restricted to a codelist of values, but the SuiteCRM API apparently will let us set these fields to arbitrary free text. The consequences of this are that:
- When we call the API again to retrieve these fields we will receive that same free text back.
- The field will appear blank in the GUI.
- We lose validation of these fields.
We need to add validity checking on record creation and update.
