-1. For the code that this change impacts, I believe that the automated tests validate functionality that is highly important to users.  If the existing automated tests do not cover this functionality, I have added the necessary additional tests or I have added an issue to describe the automation testing gap and linked it to this MR.
-1. I have made sure that the sonar quality coverage is up to standards.
-1. I have considered the impact of this change on the front-end, back-end, and database portions of the system where appropriate and applied.
-1. I have tested this MR in all supported browsers or determined that this testing is not needed.
-1. I have confirmed that this change is backwards compatible across updates (migrate up needs a migrate down), or I have decided that this does not apply.
