Issue Description

The scope of this ticket is to make the following changes around the VAMC field in Supporting Evidence page:

• The VAMC entry should be optional on this page (currently required)
• Updated content to clearly explain what is needed in this field
• The field should not force validation and require specific/accurate names of the facility
• Country field is optional and remove validation (currently required)
• Condition field is optional and remove validation (currently required)
• All fields are optional on this page
• User should be able to submit claim with no value or unvalidated value for these fields

Need to know

Look at backend validation on this: https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/vets-json-schema/blob/76083e33f175fb00392e31f1f5f90654d05f1fd2/dist/21-526EZ-ALLCLAIMS-schema.json#L1016

This is based on our discussion with VBA stakeholders(Alejandro) on May 18th
Remove requirement of entering VAMC name on the evidence screen

• Multiple issues are being reported from veterans with their inability to choose VAMC from options or enter a name and move to the next step or submit the form
• Even when the value is entered, it may be incorrect or incomplete, leading more work by VSR to check all records
• We understand that regardless of a veteran entering this value, VSRs look at all VAMCs in the system to assess if it’s relevant to the claim
  We propose to either remove this field altogether or at least making it optional so the user does not see this issue.
• Don’t validate the facilities name - VSR will do the research
• Make it optional
• Clarify the language to what is required for this field

Update 6/15/23

We found out that these newly optional fields are required in EVSS (slack thread) For now, we will move forward with only the content changes and removing auto suggest from the facilities name field. That should hopefully allow users to proceed.

AC has been updated accordingly and we will file a subsequent story to be worked on next month, once the 3 fields are optional in EVSS.

Tasks

• Update automated tests
• Backend tests
• End to end tests

Acceptance Criteria

• Content updates to remove and edit text as noted in the sketch file
• User will be able to enter a facility name that does not match any facility in the VAMC list
• User will be able to enter a Country, Condition without validation
• User will be able to submit the claim without entering any value for VAMC, Country, Condition
• Verify no harmful downstream effects
