@jponikarchuk would it be expected to be removed given there is no 'chat history'
Does it remain if you send a message and receive a response prior to removing?

[jponikarchuk]

@abekkala We still can reproduce according to your comment

send a message and receive a response prior to removing?

That still looks to have only one person active in the chat. looking at your video I don't see a second account messaging, correct?

[jponikarchuk]

QA team still can reproduce this issue if the WS member and Admin send messages in the WS chat

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[melvin-bot]

@ZhenjaHorbach 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

[melvin-bot]

@ZhenjaHorbach Now this issue is 8 days overdue. Are you sure this should be a Daily? Feel free to change it!

@abekkala @ZhenjaHorbach 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!

I think this is expected actually per this PR, @carlosmiceli do you think you could confirm?

[carlosmiceli]

Correct, they are now hidden. @jponikarchuk we should update the tests, because this is not a bug, all reports from a deleted workspace become hidden now.

[abekkala]

@jponikarchuk I'm going to close this one. Please confirm you've updated the tests as this is expected.

[m-natarajan]

@abekkala Thank you for the update. The test case is currently in on-hold status
