Well it may not seem like it does not make sense but in the context of this app it does with the what the form is supposed . This is our flow.
1. Site is installed with eqpt. 2. The person using the form puts all eqpt that is on site attached to the form dynamically. 3. I have fields for the eqpt showing that it is installed correctly, settings are correct , .... 4. You can add eqpt but is might not necessarily be installed correctly, have issues, blah.... Step 4 is the reason that the form may be "submitted" but not fully processed until the issues at a site get resolved.
