Third split bill description is empty and others have non-empty descriptions. What is the bug? Could you please explain?

[joekaufmanexpensify]

I agree. i think this is expected behavior. In the other issue, the bug was that we were overwriting description in an existing IOU, when creating another one.

Here the bug report seems to be that we are not doing this. But that's not a bug. When a new bill split is created, we should not overwrite the description of an existing bill split.

@Julesssss mind sense checking my thinking here as you worked on the other issue? IMO, we should close this.

[Julesssss]

Yeah, I'm also confused by this report. It seems to be working correctly to me (but @kbecciv are we missing something?)

I'm going to close it in the meantime
