Cleanup of autopopulated listing data across property types.
If a field is not available for a certain property type (e.g., Beds or Baths for Land listings), it will no longer autofill from the Tax Record so there are no missing required fields to prevent you from publishing your listing.

- Tab header names that do not include any associated data no longer display on 360 reports.
