Fixes #6668

What changes did you make?

• Fixed missing form variable declaration by adding const (variable is not reassigned within function) based on original analysis:

Analysis: form is a local variable to pull the name and email from the field with id nameEmailForm and does not get reassigned within the function.

Recommendation: update code using const to declare form like the 2nd form function does in line 368.

Why did you make the changes (we will use this info to test)?

• Keep variable localized and reduce risk of bugs.

Great job and thank you for taking the issue!

• I agree with your solution to add "const" in front of form
• branches are correct
• tested locally, submitting form worked

nit pick: It's anything that stops approval 👍

• in issue page, I would check the box "In a comment in this issue, add your analysis and recommendations...."
• in the pull request, I would delete the first paragraph "Please note: You must be a member of the HFLA website team in order to create pull requests.

Hi @cchrizzle,

Thanks for working on this issue, I've done my review - only thing I would modify is in the "What Changes Did You Make" section, include some of the details from your analysis on the parent issue (so I don't have to go back and forth between the issue/PR to understand what's going on)

i.e. "Fixed missing form variable declaration by adding const (variable is not reassigned within function)"

Other than that, everything looks great - issue linked correctly, branches set up correct, and no CodeQL alerts. Approved on my end!

Hi @cchrizzle! I've gone thorugh the details, and things looked good from my end. You correctly added 'const' to make the variable local and addess the warning; and you correctly went through the usual protocol for branching and filling the templates.

[ldaws003]

Hi @cchrizzle, good work with this issue. The added keyword fixes the quality issue and keeps it inline with the how the other form variables are declared. Approved.

@egcuriel I'm going to merge this as it has enough reviews, there are a couple other Medium PRs open right now you can review if you need to for your skills issue.

@Tomomi-K1 & @anthonylo87 Appreciate both of your recommendations, went ahead and implemented them. Thank you!
