@1Copenut I found another breadcrumb issue that I shared in #95163. Would you like to include this finding as part of your VA Benefits Letters audit, or shall I create a separate ticket?

@salihaghaffar I've finished this audit as of mid-day Monday, November 4th. I'm still looking for a way to associate the findings to this original work ticket.

My first thought is a task list in the ticket description so there's an association formed. Happy to go a different way if you or @dysbo have ideas.

Moving this issue to closed. Audit is completed and findings have been logged.
