@syed-awais-ali I believe we do not need this change after the revert that happened to #8516 -- apologies if you have already spent effort on this. Closing this issue and apologies again about any confusion here

[syed-awais-ali]

Ah, okay. @sherifnada No worries. Thanks. I had made changes to several files though but that's cool. Do you think of any other issue that I could explore and pick up? Otherwise, I will search for open issues. Thanks

Of course! Look for "accepting-contributions" label or choose any issue that seems interesting and ask the creator if it's open to contribution
