I realized this had been brought up before. Duh on me. However I don’t think it is working like before. Can you double check?

> Is there a chance that the “The client’s return has a balance due. Does the client want you to send a Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) authorization to the CRA to pay this balance?” can be switched to a warning from an error so that we can turn the message off? If for some reason that cannot be done, can the diagnostic be adjusted so that the warning can be cleared from the sidebar?
