Summary
On the New Order page's External Referral form, leaving both Referral Reference Number and Referral Issuer Name blank and clicking "Accept and Create Order" produces only a floating error toast in the top-right corner ("External referral requires reference number or issuer name"), instead of an inline error on the two fields themselves. This is the same disconnected-toast pattern already reported for the Reviewer field, occurring here on a different pair of fields.
Impact
Medium severity, usability. The form already shows a small grey hint under the two fields ("At least one of Reference Number or Issuer Name is required for an external referral"), so the requirement is documented, but when validation actually fails, the only feedback is a toast far from the fields rather than an inline error directly under or beside them, making it harder for users to connect the error to what needs fixing, especially on longer forms where the fields may have scrolled out of view.
Environment
Clinq HMS demo environment, NSS Hospital (nssh.demo.clinq.health), New Order page, External Referral tab. Tested 20 October 2026.
Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to New Order, select a patient, and switch to the External Referral tab.
2. Leave both Referral Reference Number and Referral Issuer Name blank. Add one or more studies.
3. Click "Accept and Create Order".
   Expected vs Actual
   Expected: an inline error appears directly on or under the Referral Reference Number and Referral Issuer Name fields, so the user can see exactly which fields need attention.
   Actual: only a floating "Error: External referral requires reference number or issuer name" toast appears in the top-right corner of the screen; the fields themselves show no error styling or inline message.
