Description

### Current Behavior

![chrome_V6Cjq8ucsj](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/44235289/195657990-21df21ee-a3c7-4974-a19b-88841b7002d6.gif)

1. The side menu loses its highlight when a child component is viewed
2. field validation works in "Edit Template" mode but not in "New Template" mode

### Expected Behavior

Templates side menu should be shaded to indicate the area of the app the user is inside

Field validation should work for both New and Edit

### Steps To Reproduce

See GIF

### Environment

- FlowForge version: 0.10.0-git
- Platform/OS: Windows
- Browser: Chrome

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two behaviors shown in the attached GIF in Chrome: navigate to a child view under Templates and try validation in both New Template and Edit Template. Done means the Templates menu remains highlighted in child views and field validation works in both modes.
