@Nyero2023 @mufniarz - I have recreated this Feature - [#189] using the correct template.

[mufniarz]

@bellom @Nyero2023 LOL, these are all over the place, is there a way we can consolidate these and remove the close any duplicates.

[bellom]

Thank you @mufniarz, I will sync with @Nyero2023 to handle this.

@bellom @Nyero2023 I'm going to close this feature out. There are two outstanding tasks, UAT and Unit tests. UAT may need some effort and skill sets I'm not sure we currently have on the team, so I'll leave that open for now. I'm going to move the Unit Tests to the next milestone. These don't really need a Feature or Epic.
