When using the Quick add new patron form with mandatory fields, if a mistake is
made, data can be lost.

To replicate:

- In System Preferences, go to:  BorrowerMandatoryField
- Put in some mandatory fields - e.g. firstname, surname, cardnumber
- Go to Patrons
- Press +Quick add new patron
- Choose patron as a category type
- Note that firstname, surname and cardnumber are all mandatory fields
- Put data into firstname and cardnumber
- Do not put any data in surname
- Press Save

The form will not submit because surname is a required field - and a prompt is
shown:  "This field is required."

- Now correct your mistake and fill in the surname
- Press Save
- The form now submits and creates an account - but the corrected surname field
is still blank

I've tested this with a range of fields - and I've added 10 mandatory fields
and submitted a form with 2, then corrected 4, then submitted again etc - and
the form always sends the very first version and disregards any amendments.
