Description

Oge can you look in to this further please. I found this in the RAID board but I'm unsure if this is something we still need.

Homes that have one serial number (example 123AB) but are 2 sections show up as 1 section in modern (I asked for the sections to not be broken down into their own fields as we only need the ability to say it is 4 sections but one serial number initially). To Note: this can affect PPSA registrations

It also might be related to a [Raid](https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/raid--work-space-617c3d4cef313f001d715a7c/issues/gh/bcgov/entity/30823) ticket with the following contents

Decision Requested
Approve the change to PPR validation so that registering Manufactured Home (MH) collateral requires only one of Make or Model, instead of both.

Background
Modernized MHR stores Make and Model separately, but legacy MHR stored them in a single combined field, resulting in older records having both values in the Make field.
These are corrected manually when found.
In PPR, users must enter both Make and Model when adding MH collateral.
MHR data often lacks a Make value (only Model or Manufacturer name is present).
This results in user confusion, incorrect data entry, or support calls.
MHABC has confirmed that Serial Number is the true identifier — Make/Model are low-value fields.
Current PPR requirements cause friction and bad data.
What Are the Alternatives?
Preferred

Allow Make OR Model (only one required).
Add help text:
“If no Make exists in MHR, enter the Manufacturer name.”
(Optional) Auto-fill Make/Model from MHR when the MH Registration Number is entered.
Status Quo

Keep forcing both fields → continues to produce guesswork and inaccurate data.
Remove Make/Model entirely

Requires broader alignment and is not recommended at this time.
