Symptoms

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
-------------------------------
A mandatory data element is displaying an error (Field: xxx is required) when running the UpdateBPRecordV2 Webservices call, even though the field has a value in the database.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
-------------------------------

1. Run webservice call UpdateBPRecordV2 to update line item.
2. When there is no "bItemID" provided in "_bp_lineitems", there is no error, and the codes will create a new line item. Users need to provide value for field xxx since it's a new record (Creating new line item).
3. When there is an available "bItemID" provided in "_bp_lineitems", user wants to update the existing line item, and it already has value for field xxx in the database. There will be an error: "Field: xxx required. xxx: Input required "(updating existing line item).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-------------------------------
The issue happens when updating an existing line items.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-------------------------------
When updating the line item, a mandatory field that already has value in the database should not be required when updating an existing line item.
