 # 2/26/21: added copy.deepcopy to checkFieldDefinitions when building requiredFieldDefs
 # 7/6/2: changed functions notEmpty and empty to evaluate str(x) instead of just x so that we could look for value of x.strip() when x is an integer.
 #        Will converting x to string ever return an unexpected value? - ET
+#      : added try/except block when checking for editor tracking because there's a chance the method didn't exist for pre 2.6 versions of AGPro -  ET
