Hi @aj-m! Thank you for making a PR. Generally, the process for contributing is to suggest a solution and then to be assigned. There are some details here: CONTRIBUTING.md

@SuganthiThomas I'm sorry. I have been quite swamped this past couple of weeks and didn't see your message.

I think @aj-m's work will solve this problem, so I'm just going to review that PR.
