This function get's called at each button (add and remove) button submits the first time one of the button's is clicked to instantiates the $form_state['chado_properties'] array

$form_state['chado_properties'] = array( '[type_id]-[rank]' => array( 'type_id' => [the cvterm.cvterm_id value] 'type_name' => [the cvterm.name value] 'property_id' => [the property.property_id value, or NULL if it doesn't yet exist], 'value' => [the BASEprop.value value], 'rank' => [the BASEprop.rank value], ), );
