Validations do not produce any output in GUI

[Filip Hubík]

Some validations in GUI does not produce any output therefore it is hard to figure out what they actually validated ₍screenshot attached). It happens no matter what status particular validation ended up in (successful/failed, not for "new" ones).

fixed by https://review.openstack.org/#/c/402368/

[Julie Pichon (jpichon)]

Is this something we can backport to Newton or does it require a new dependency?

[Jiri Tomasek (jtomasek)]

No, the change which introduced this bug is not in Newton.
