Cannot alter a SharePoint list record without reentering a specific required field

Copper Contributor

When I try to alter a record in a SharePoint list, it throws an error saying that there is an error in another field, that a value must be specified.  The field with the error is always the same one ("Requestor IDIR"), and it is a required field, however, it is always already populated. Frustratingly, reentering the information is necessary before proceeding.
 
Example:

Entering information in "Path to additional layers"

Leads to the screen being panned to "Requestor IDIR", with a error specifying a value must be entered. However, there is already a value specified.

Troubleshooting steps:
1. Setting field as not required solves the problem, but we need the field to be required.
2. Creating a new list and seeing if the problem could be replicated. It can't.
3. Cycling the status from required to not required and back again doesn't help.

Additional info:

- These lists have recently been recreated in SharePoint Online, being migrated from SharePoint 2016.
- There are 3 affected lists with quite a bit of information that are integrated deeply into our processes that display this problem. The lists otherwise work very well.
