@Don you’re amazing. I’ve tested it and it addresses my issue perfectly.

It is cheating a little by addressing the problem in a different way (I wasn’t aware of the `currentUser` variable being accessible from there) but I can’t argue with the results. 😄

Thanks also @merefield for pointing out the upcoming refactor. I’ll set up a test to monitor our environment for potential regressions.

Thanks guys.
