I think this is not a blocker, given that this feature is currently only accessible via URL. However, it is definitely a bug we should fix.

[mollfpr]

I agree with @rayane-d 👍

[mollfpr]

@rayane-d Do you plan to have a PR to fix the bugs related to this feature?

All the information in the expense report fields, should still be visible after moving the expense to a different workspace.

The way OldDot handles this is as follows:

• fields that are available on the workspace you've moved to are shown, and if there's any "invalid" coding, violations appear. For example, if the category value is no longer valid because it doesn't exist on the new workspace.
• fields that are not on the workspace you've moved the report to disappear (e.g had tags selected on the expense, moved to a workspace with no tags).
• Tax looks like it's handled a little inconsistently when moving to a workspace with tax disabled, whereby the values remain and there's a button to delete tax. I think we can treat this like tags though, where the values disappear if tax isn't enabled on the workspace you moved to.

Example:

• I had categories, tag and tax selected.
• Moved the report to a workspace with no tags or tax enabled.
• Category value remains but invalid, tags disappear, tax remains hanging out.

@luacmartins I think this is a backend bug. The report displays correctly when changing the workspace offline, but the fields become empty after going online. They are only corrected after reopening the report (when OpenReport is executed).

[luacmartins]

I can take a look

[melvin-bot]

@rayane-d Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[lydiabarclay]

@luacmartins any updates?

[luacmartins]

Not yet! It's on my list though

[luacmartins]

My plate is quite full and I haven't gotten to this one yet. Still on my list though.

[lydiabarclay]

@luacmartins I updated to weekly, feel free to change it back if that makes more sense for your prioritization at this point

[melvin-bot]

@eVoloshchak @luacmartins @rayane-d @lydiabarclay this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[lydiabarclay]

Hi @luacmartins just following up on this!

[luacmartins]

Ah yes, this is done and the PR is deployed to prod. We're good to close.
