@blimpich 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

[m-natarajan]

We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsb

[blimpich]

Looking into this

[blimpich]

I don't think this is worth blocking the deploy, demoting.

[blimpich]

@MonilBhavsar I think this is related to #40240. Do you want to take this over? Otherwise I think we can just open this up to contributors.

Proposal

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

Duplicated tax rate in the tax rate list

What is the root cause of that problem?

when we update the split transaction, we save the data in splitDraftTransaction. However, we consistently rely on transaction in the TaxPicker Component

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

In the TaxPicker, we need to implement a logic similar to what we've done in the IOURequestStepTaxRatePage

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepTaxRatePage.tsx

Line 60 in 95d328f

const currentTransaction = isEditingSplitBill && !isEmptyObject(splitDraftTransaction) ? splitDraftTransaction : transaction;

When isEditingSplitBill is true, we should utilize splitDraftTransaction instead of transaction

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

@blimpich This seems somewhat connected to #40240, but I don't believe it is a regression

[blimpich]

@cretadn22 if this wasn't caused by #40240 then what did cause this? Please explain why you think this specifically isn't a regression

[bondydaa]

the revert #42670 has been deployed, please retest and confirm this is no longer reproducible.

[blimpich]

cc: @m-natarajan, can you see if this still reproduces?

[kavimuru]

This bug is not reproducible

[Christinadobrzyn]

I also can't reproduce this issue. I think we can close this. Feel free to let me know if I'm missing anything!

[MonilBhavsar]

I think we should pay @cretadn22 $100(May be $125 i.e. 50% of our usual bounty) for investigating the root cause of this and other related issues.
I think it helped to revert the PR in timely manner and move forward with the deploy. Also it saved me some time fixing the bugs in a follow up PR. cc @Christinadobrzyn @blimpich @bondydaa

@MonilBhavsar Thank you for your recognition of my efforts. After proposing solutions for 4 blockers, it appears they were implemented in the subsequent pull request. Could I suggest raising the bounty to $250 for the effort put into investigating and suggest solutions for those blockers? It seems more fitting than the current $125, which is only half the base price for an issue.

[Christinadobrzyn]

checking with @MonilBhavsar on your request @cretadn22

[MonilBhavsar]

I can't think of a reason why we should not. So I'm fine with paying it. Fine with what others has to say 👍

[blimpich]

Sounds good to me 👍

@Christinadobrzyn can we pay out $250 to @cretadn22 and then close this issue?

[Christinadobrzyn]

Yep! Payouts due:

• Contributor: $250 @cretadn22 (Paid in Upwork - https://www.upwork.com/nx/wm/offer/102634283)

Upwork job is here.

@cretadn22 can you accept? TY!

[cretadn22]

@Christinadobrzyn Done 🙏 Thanks so much

[cretadn22]

Awaiting payment from @Christinadobrzyn

[Christinadobrzyn]

Thanks @cretadn22 - Paid out based on this payment summary - #42642 (comment)
