 - Fixed path validation when creating new volume profile (case 1229933)
 - Fixed various object leaks in HDRP.
 - Fix for assertion triggering sometimes when saving a newly created lit shader graph (case 1230996)
+- Fixed an issue with the specularFGD term being used when the material has a clear coat (lit shader).
 
 ### Changed
 - Rejecting history for ray traced reflections based on a threshold evaluated on the neighborhood of the sampled history.
