@CortneyOfstad I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

Thanks @kbecciv! I've been diving into this and I think that this could be handled by an external contrubutor 👍

@eh2077 Please let me know if you have any concerns about this potentially being a BE Issue, and we can get that tags switched. From what I could see, it appears not to be, but would love fresh eyes just in case 👍
