Section setting to allow Formatted Actuals and Skill Mix in specific sections

Feature Request: Section Settings for Formatted Actuals and Skill Mix

Description: Introduce a section-level configuration that enables administrators to restrict specific sections to accept only Formatted Actuals or Skill Mix data types. This ensures users can only enter the appropriate data type within the intended section, reducing the risk of data entry errors and improving data integrity.

Problem Statement: Currently, users can input any data type in any section, which increases the risk of incorrect data being entered and hinders accurate reporting. There is no mechanism to enforce data type validity at the section/question level.

Proposed Solution: Add an option within section settings to specify which data types (Formatted Actuals, Skill Mix) are allowed for each question. If a user attempts to input an unsupported data type, the system should prevent the entry and provide a clear validation message.

Use Case/Example:

• A proposal manager needs to capture actual hours worked (Formatted Actuals) in one section and team competency distribution (Skill Mix) in another. With section-level restrictions, each section only accepts the relevant data, eliminating accidental data entry mistakes.

• During project audits, administrators can quickly validate that all data has been entered in the correct format, streamlining compliance checks.

Benefits:

• Reduces user error by restricting input to valid data types per section

• Improves reporting accuracy by ensuring data consistency

• Simplifies data validation and auditing processes
