Thank you for your report! @openedx/axim-oncall will triage within a business day. Simple requests usually take 2-3 business days to resolve; more complex requests could take longer.

[arbrandes]

It doesn't look like this is supposed to be an on-call ticket. Did it end up as one on purpose?

[sarina]

@farhan these tickets should not be created in the Axim Engineering repo, as this repo is for on-call tickets only. Can you please find a more appropriate repo (such as a repo closer to the code)?

[farhan]

@sarina Thanks for flagging it, after discussion with Feanil it's in public-engineering now
