CARES-RFA Issue – Missing Required ‘Tribal Representative Notified Date’ Data

All Pilot County RFA SPOCs:         
An issue has been discovered during end user testing of the CWS-CARES application.

Problem Description:
The ‘Tribal Representative Notified Date’ field became a required field in CWS-CARES on June 26, 2023. Prior to June 26, the field could be left blank without any issue. However, when trying to reassign a record with a blank, but required, ‘Tribal Representative Notified Date’ field value, users will now receive the following error message:

The development team is working on developing fixes of this known issue and a follow up communication will be sent with a workaround once it is identified.
