cc @neil-marcellini Do you happen to know where this might be coming from - is this from one of the report field changes you've been making?

[francoisl]

Could be #59568, it was deployed to staging with the current checklist (though it's not showing in the checklist 🤔)

[neil-marcellini]

No I haven't touched report fields on the frontend. I feel like we have reported similar issues before, where the offline report title doesn't match the online one.

[neil-marcellini]

We're planning to fix that inconsistency here Plan and implement a system for optimistic report title formula computation #59689

[thienlnam]

Oh yeah looks related - cc @FitseTLT / @blimpich Are you able to check this?

[francoisl]

To confirm, once you get back online, is the report title correct? If so maybe let's not block on this, and keep it as a daily follow-up fix.

[FitseTLT]

@francoisl This is not a deploy blocker the behavior is the same on production only the fact that the PR only moved that report title settings from Rules > Reports section made them think it is a blocker 😄

[francoisl]

Ah yes good point, just tested and confirmed the same behavior happens on production.

[FitseTLT]

@thienlnam but we should still fix it as a normal bug.

[thienlnam]

Is this not something that will be fixed as part of #59689?

[FitseTLT]

I am not sure may be @neil-marcellini can suggest.
