Description
Please provide the details/reason for the OOB Deploy
Hello, the Accredited Representation Management team needs to request an out-of-band-deploy for vets-website.
Each search result in our Find a Rep feature allows users to flag bad rep data and contains an ‘other’ field where a user can type a note. Some users have been entering PII in that field so we need to remove it ASAP.
We are working on a PR to remove the ‘other’ field now. We’ll need to get that approved ASAP, and then get it deployed ASAP.
