Thank you for the link. I traced it back to the PR: https://github.com/frappe/frappe/pull/7662
But I’m still just wondering what the rationale behind the decision was. Its a question coming from a good place.
Like it is mentioned in the PR, it was a very specific implementation for erpnext.com, ideally should not have been there in the first place. Also it had many loose ends that were dependent the erpnext.com platform.
