Proposal

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

In self DM, create expense is shown instead track expense.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We display Create expense if canUseCombinedTrackSubmit is true.

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/461781621a22903b64534202c95811890bf05df4/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/AttachmentPickerWithMenuItems.tsx#L162-L163

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

I think we should display Track expense for all case in the plus icon of SelfDM

icon:  getIconForAction(CONST.IOU.TYPE.TRACK),
text: translate('iou.trackExpense'),

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/461781621a22903b64534202c95811890bf05df4/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/AttachmentPickerWithMenuItems.tsx#L162-L163

OPTIONAL: We can also change this to always display Track expense

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/461781621a22903b64534202c95811890bf05df4/src/pages/iou/request/IOURequestStartPage.tsx#L58
