  • CSV File Download Error Fixed:

    • Resolved an issue where users encountered a “Forbidden” error when downloading CSV files. This was due to a mismatch in credential cookies. The fix ensures proper credential cookie alignment, enabling successful downloads.
  • PII Fields Display Issue Addressed:

    • Corrected a frontend issue where PII fields on the Participation Page were not displaying correctly due to a rendering error. PII fields are now properly visible when activated.
