DIG-4915: Data fixes for Marriage Intention form
- This work updates the data we send to the database for the Marriage Intention form. The Registry team needs to print the form out for constituent review and they noticed some of the data fields were not complete
- We updated the following fields to send the correct data for printing:
- Would you like to change your last name? - if the user clicks no we will send full name entered by the user to the DB for printing
- Do you have a second parent? - if the user clicks no we are sending "---" to the DB for printing in the 2nd parent field
- Have you ever been married before? - if the user clicks no we will send "1st" to the DB for printing in the number of marriages field
- If the user chooses USA as their Country of Residence we do not need to send this to the DB for printing, it will be blank
- We will always send parents full name/surname to the DB whether the surname has changed or not since birth

DIG-4148 - Registration workflow makes people enter 2nd factor twice PROD
- This work addresses an issue where new users on the Access-Boston portal are having to complete the MFA Device Registration form twice. It was discovered that an update to the Multifactor Authentication field was taking to long so when users clicked the login button it was not reading correctly, forcing the user to register a second time. A patch added a delay of a couple of seconds before the login button is available allowing the MFA field to be read properly so users are registered correctly. A complete fix for this issue will be done on the Server/Endpoint end.
