@MitchExpensify 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.

Adding external, as we seem to be setting the values correctly. We are just not displaying them

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

In LHN, the workspace chat preview does not show the request description.

What is the root cause of that problem?

In here, we didn't put the comment param, so the description does not show in the request alternate text in LHN. This comes from #37773 where the comment param was removed.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

In here, simply put the comment param back

return Localize.translateLocal('iou.payerOwesAmount', {payer: payerName ?? '', amount: formattedAmount, comment});

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

LHN preview does not show request description for request with description

What is the root cause of that problem?

#37773 removed the comment, my best guess is that they didn't want to show it on non-reimbursible spent.

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 2634 in 4fbd218

return Localize.translateLocal('iou.payerOwesAmount', {payer: payerName ?? '', amount: formattedAmount});

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Introduce a condition to check for containsNonReimbursable and show comment only when it is false

return Localize.translateLocal('iou.payerOwesAmount', { payer: payerName ?? '', amount: formattedAmount, ...(containsNonReimbursable ? {} : { comment }) });

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

N/A

@MitchExpensify I think I'm also eligible for compensation here since the issue was External and my proposal was used to fix the blocker

We had many similar cases like in here.

What do you think?

[MitchExpensify]

@Gonals were the solutions like for like?

[mvtglobally]

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)

[nkdengineer]

@Gonals were the solutions #39158 (comment) for #39208?

@Gonals Bump on this, do you agree the solution used in the PR is the same as in the proposal?

Thanks 🙏
