@jasperhuangg what do you think - definitely a deploy blocker? I think this could be worked on externally, right?

[jasperhuangg]

Seems like a pretty minor bug and doesn't need to be a blocker

[jasperhuangg]

It looks like something that wasn't taken into consideration in https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/40200, I think we should get the author of the PR to fix this @bernhardoj

[jasperhuangg]

I don't think we need to treat this as a regression from https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/39496 (so we don't need to dock pay), since it wasn't originally included in the requirements for the issue it was solving https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/39496. But I think @bernhardoj should still fix it for the sake of consistency across all types of links.

[bernhardoj]

@mallenexpensify this is a missing case from my PR, so we are handling it here

[eh2077]

@bernhardoj Can you also link this issue in PR https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/40625? So that we can track this issue together.

[eh2077]

Unassign myself since the fix PR https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/40625 is already ongoing.

[bernhardoj]
