I am reminded that my more that 500 character max on messages was undone in my last update... I'll likely get on that as fast as I did the last update. -_-

Only took two more posts that maxed the 500 char limit till I connected via my phone and fixed it.
This is not that it is easy, no the information took me a few google searches initially to find. But I found it and made the changes. My instance is git deployed, so when I upgrade I use stash to save my uncommitted changes.
```
git stash
```
Then after the upgrade, I perform a stash apply to put my changes back. 9 outta 10 times this works fine as long as the code has not changed too much. Otherwise you get a merge error and then you get to have fun fixing it. That I'll leave to the reader to muddle through.
Anyway, I just applied it and recompiled assets and restarted services to get the win I needed.
As you can see, this post is well over 500 chars. **WIN**
