@arosiclair @thienlnam @aimane-chnaif can you look at this? Looks like this is related to #36538

[arosiclair]

Couldn't reproduce on v1.4.43-5:

There may be a difference using the "force offline" toggle. I am using dev tools.

Just tested on staging. Not able to reproduce other than weird unrelated bugs

[arosiclair]

Okay I was able to reproduce using the "Force offline" toggle. This seems to be caused by the extra navigation back to the report which triggers OpenReport for the optimistic report and gets it cleared from Onyx.

This is related but slightly different from the repro steps I fixed. Since this is still an edge case, I'll remove the blocker label and take care of this flow later.

Ran into a blocker but started a discussion in slack about it here

[arosiclair]

Alright per that discussion we'll make OpenReport set errorFields.notFound for reports that are inaccessible instead of deleting the report completely. errorFields.notFound will display the "it's not here" page only when there aren't any other helpful errors set.

I'll post a Web-E PR to get those changes out and then continue with the App PR.

[arosiclair]

Alright two PRs are updated and out for review. App PR's needs to go first:

• App PR
• Web-E PR
