Hi Brian !

Nice to connect with you after a long time. I was occupied with other responsibilities so couldn’t contribute actively to the community. But, I am back now 😃

Thanks for the guidance on the spec info !
I just skimmed it a bit and I believe changes in API need a spec and a blueprint as well.

I created the blueprint yesterday. I will go through the process of raising a spec for the same and then proceed from there.

Thanks and Regards,

Harsh Ailani

Hi Harsh, changes to the API require a full spec.  You can find more
