Proposal

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

"Default" label changes to "Workspace currency default" after changing tax code

What is the root cause of that problem?

Here were are not setting foreignTaxDefault to the newTaxCode when editing tax code https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/d5cfecfc53a2abf926a1dd9be8bc72c0b373ff81/src/libs/actions/TaxRate.ts#L486-L496 And here default badge is only displayed when taxID === defaultExternalID && taxID === foreignTaxDefault condition holds to be true. And it is not being true, since we are not updating foreignTaxDefault https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/d5cfecfc53a2abf926a1dd9be8bc72c0b373ff81/src/pages/workspace/taxes/WorkspaceTaxesPage.tsx#L87-L91

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

We should update foreignTaxDefault with the new tax code in optimistic data here

foreignTaxDefault: oldTaxCode === policy?.taxRates?.foreignTaxDefault ? newTaxCode : policy?.taxRates?.foreignTaxDefault,

And set foreignTaxDefault to the existing foreignTaxDefault in failure data

foreignTaxDefault: policy?.taxRates?.foreignTaxDefault,

Also we shouldn't update defaultExternalID in successData since BE returns the updated value

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
