@lschurr I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

[izarutskaya]

We think this issue might be related to the #collect project.

Hi hi @stitesExpensify - Can you check on this and confirm if it's a deploy blocker? Do we need to add External here?

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

All transactions are unapproved when a single transaction is unapproved.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The approve option is available on the expense report which will approve all the transactions, so it makes sense if unapprove will unapprove all transactions too. They both work on the expense report level, not on each transaction.

So, I think the real issue here is that the Unapprove option is shown on the transaction thread details page. That's because when we check whether the report is a money request report or not, we always pass the money request report itself, which is true for the transaction thread too. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/7b558ef7fb9908223d899b54ad3d0156bc8fcb81/src/pages/ReportDetailsPage.tsx#L202-L205

The moneyRequestReport variable holds the parentx money request report of the transaction. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/7b558ef7fb9908223d899b54ad3d0156bc8fcb81/src/pages/ReportDetailsPage.tsx#L184-L189

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should check for the current report instead of the moneyRequestReport. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/7b558ef7fb9908223d899b54ad3d0156bc8fcb81/src/pages/ReportDetailsPage.tsx#L202-L205

ReportUtils.isMoneyRequestReport(report) && ...

[suneox]

Thank @bernhardoj for the proposal. I’ll start reviewing it.

[suneox]

I’m still stuck when trying to approve an expense due to the requirement to add a payment card. I have tried a lot of test cards provided by stripe, bluesnap, plaid but none of them worked. @stitesExpensify, do you have documentation on how to bypass the “add payment card” step in a dev environment?

[danieldoglas]

I don't think we need to block the backend on this!

[Beamanator]

@bernhardoj i agree with your assessment & proposed solution 👍 I'm already working on a PR to fix another blocker so I will test out your theory & implement it, if you don't mind (you'll be compensated for the solution if it works, of course)

[Beamanator]

Fix merged & CPing

[Beamanator]

Should be good now, IOUs are no longer Unapprovable 👍 tested in 9.0.5-6 👍

[Beamanator]

Keeping open so @bernhardoj can get paid for his solution here that I implemented in https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/45049 (along with another small change) 🙏 - cc @lschurr

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@Beamanator, @suneox, @lschurr, @stitesExpensify Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[Beamanator]

@lschurr can you help us retest? This should have been fixed already

[lschurr]

Yes, I'm a bit behind but can test tomorrow - @bernhardoj @suneox are you able to jump in and test this?

[bernhardoj]

Tested on staging, the Unapprove button doesn't show on the transaction thread anymore 🎉

[lschurr]

Woop! Amazing. Is there a PR associated with this specific GH that requires payment or are we good to close?

[Beamanator]

PR was https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/45049! But it fixed multiple issues FYI 🙏

[lschurr]

Ok, so payment is being issued elsewhere? Or do we need to pay here @Beamanator?

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@Beamanator @suneox @lschurr @stitesExpensify 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!

[garrettmknight]

@lschurr I think it's just payment for @bernhardoj here via this comment.

[lschurr]

Great, thanks!
