    //    ajax callbacks when the ajax call originates from non-submit fields other
    //    than button
    // 3) in the $form_state['input'] array which occurs on ajax callbacks from submit
    //    form elements (e.g. buttons) and the form is being rebuilt but has not yet
    //    been validated
    //
    // The reference elements added by this function do use AJAX calls from buttons,

    // for case #2 above, and in the $form_state['input'] for case #3.

/**
 * Provides a form for adding to BASEprop table
 *
 * @param $form
 *   The Drupal form array into which the property form elements will be added
 * @param $form_state
 *   The corresponding form_state array for the form
 * @param $details
 *   An array defining details used by this form.
 *   Required keys that are always required:
 *     - property_table: the name of the property table (e.g.: featureprop, stockprop, etc.)
 *   Required keys for forms that update a record.
 *     - chado_id: the id of the record to which properties will be associated (e.g.: if a
 *       feature has a feature_id of 999 and we want to associate properties for that feature
 *       then the chado_id option should be 999)
 *   Require ONE of the following to identify the controlled vocabulary containing the properties to use:
 *     - cv_id: the unique key from the cv table
 *     - cv_name: the cv.name field uniquely identifying the controlled vocabulary
 *   Optional keys include:
 *     - chado_id_field: the foreign key field that links properties to the
 *       chado_id record. If this value is not specified it is determined using the
 *       traditional Chado naming scheme for property tables.
 *     - additional_instructions: provides additional instructions to the user
 *       for dealing with the property elements.  These instructions are appended
 *       to the default instructions
 *     - fieldset_title: An alternate name for the fieldset in which the properties
 *       form is placed. By default the title is 'Properties'.
 *     - default_properties:  An array of properties used to initialize the
 *       properties form.  Each property shoudl be represented as an array with
 *       the following keys and values:
 *          'cvterm':    The cvterm object for the property type
 *          'value':     The property value
 *     - select_options: an array of terms to use for the drop down select box.
 *       this array will be used rather than populating the drop down with terms
 *       from the named vocabulary.  The array must have keys with the cvterm_id
 *       and values with the cvterm name.
