@jliexpensify FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

I think this is expected @trjExpensify

[trjExpensify]

Yep, this isn't a bug. The user didn't have any unreported expenses to add to the report. They used the CTA to create an expense and that added it to the report.

Closing.
