Hi @brianteeman,
Just a gentle follow-up on this PR. I’ve addressed the earlier feedback.
Whenever you have time, I’d appreciate a review or any further suggestions. Thanks again!
@brianteeman Thank you for the review and the helpful feedback.
I’ve updated the XML to remove the redundant description and the unsupported useglobal option, and I’ve also added a default value of 1 to preserve backward compatibility.
Please let me know if anything else needs adjustment.
