Hey @jaredallard, can you verify if the issue persists?

[jaredallard]

I can't, this was a private project for a company I no longer work for and was no longer used. Sorry!

[lkashef]

No worries @jaredallard, I wanted to know if you still need help on that since it was an old report.

Thanks for the update , I will go ahead and close this issue then.
