The IATI Publisher data entry form for activity element participating-org currently allows users to save data with both @/ref and narrative unpopulated:

This would be very easy to do and will cause errors in published data as, according to the Standard, "the participating organisation must have an identifier or a narrative"

  1. Can we add data validation to the data entry form to force the user to populate one of these fields before saving.
  2. Can we rename "narrative" to "name" in the interface (similar to what we did for reporting-org in Clearer labelling and/or auto-population of reporting-org/@narrative #1406) to make it clearer to the user what this field is.
  3. Can we (ideally) move the narrative sub-element to the top of the form as it is logical to the user to complete this first.
