Proposal

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

Incorrectly fallback avatar is shown for split expense

What is the root cause of that problem?

The fallback avatar is showing in the split expense due to this condition check. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/3047c1baa21f47825f5c1ffd652184341dd22256/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionsListItemRenderer.tsx#L176

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

We should remove CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.IOU for it to work as expected in this ticket. Something like this:

shouldShowSubscriptAvatar={
                (ReportUtils.isPolicyExpenseChat(report) || ReportUtils.isInvoiceRoom(report)) &&
                [
-                    CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.IOU,
                    CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.REPORT_PREVIEW,
                    CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.SUBMITTED,
                    CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.APPROVED,
                    CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.FORWARDED,
                ].some((type) => type === reportAction.actionName)
            }

Seems to be a frontend issue, so not a Web-E blocker

@grgia It looks like this is probably a regression from https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/49172. Would you be able to take a look at this?

[grgia]

Looking, but I think the problem is that two reports are created? this is the split in new dot for me, I don't see a submit button

We reverted the problematic PR https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/49945. Gonna remove the label but keep this open so @grgia can fix this in a followup.
