@greg-schroeder @rayane-djouah this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[rayane-djouah]

This may be a backend bug as stated in https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/41260#issuecomment-2111516351, it may be fixed now. This needs reproduction.

[rayane-djouah]

@kbecciv, @m-natarajan Could you please confirm if this is still reproducible?

[melvin-bot[bot]]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[rayane-djouah]

Issue needs reproduction

[greg-schroeder]

I couldn't repro either ... checking w/ QA and we can potentially close

Reproducible if there is no conversation between the account.

Waiting on proposals

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@greg-schroeder @rayane-djouah this issue is now 4 weeks old, please consider:

• Finding a contributor to fix the bug
• Closing the issue if BZ has been unable to add the issue to a VIP or Wave project
• If you have any questions, don't hesitate to start a discussion in #expensify-open-source

Thanks!

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@greg-schroeder, @rayane-djouah Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[melvin-bot[bot]]

Upwork job price has been updated to $500

[mallenexpensify]

Raised price to $500 to try to get some proposals. It might be hard because reproduction steps might not be specific-enough for a contributor to reliably reproduce. If we don't get action here in a few days we can discuss compensating for reliable reproduction steps.

Below might also be related, we recently got reproduction steps for that, in case they're helpful here.

[SzymczakJ]

Hey! I’m Jakub Szymczak from Software Mansion, an expert agency, and I’d like to work on this issue! I will be able to start this tomorrow 😄

[greg-schroeder]

Thanks @SzymczakJ!

[saracouto]

FYI - I just experienced this today while testing a split!

[rayane-djouah]

I will be OOO until june 12th, feel free to reassign another C+ if you prefer.

[SzymczakJ]

After investigating for some time I noticed strange behaviour:

1. As user A I create group with user B(they don't have any previous connections or chats together) and I create a split expense on this group. At this point user A sees the split IOU. This is the chat report data that's present in user A onyx store that allows this report to be shown:

   

   please notice that reportID is "report_8850932074352690"

2. On the other hand user B doesn't see this IOU. He has the same chat report entry in onyx store but this report entry is missing a lot of data:

   

   this reportID is also "report_8850932074352690"

3. After that I find user A as a user B and click on chat with him(see the video) and suddenly a IOU pops up on LHN

https://github.com/Expensify/App/assets/88395093/445fb683-abdb-49fe-ad59-2ab600a9c96e

Now the user B has the same data of this specific report as user A:

I don't see any operation that would run on front end that could possibly update this report on user B side. The only thing that frontend does is running OpenReport and OpenPaymentsPage API commands. After the invocation of these two commands correct data for chat report pops up, so my guess is that initially BE does something wrong. Can somebody from backend take a look at this? cc @greg-schroeder
