Proposal

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

"fake_" is displayed when clicking on "Mark as Complete" without selecting an assignee

What is the root cause of that problem?

The root cause of this problem originates here -

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/TaskPreview.js

Line 61 in 820fa93

const taskAssignee = props.taskReport.managerEmail || props.action.childManagerEmail;

Here - we are using managerEmail i.e. the task assignee
When we do Mark as Done for a task that is without assignee, the managerEmail is set to - __fake__
and thus being rendered
and we are not checking if the email is __fake__ or not

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

For the task that doesn't have assignee

We have no participantAccountIDs list.

We can add this check before directly rendering the managerEmail, which will be __fake__ if the task is marked as done.

What to show here instead of __fake__ shall be discussed and decided.

This is the task that has assignee

The solution is -

• Add check of participantAccountIDs while displaying the managerEmail. Based on output from Expensify team we can decide what to display there.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

I wonder if it got fixed in this issue #21216

[sonialiap]

Sounds like a PR was in review when both this issue and #21216 were reported

PR: #21216 (comment)

[ayazhussain79]

@sonialiap sorry for the delay, I'm still able to reproduce it
Please try these steps and try it on room chat not on workspace room chat

1. Open the room chat (if not created then created a room)
2. Navigate to the "Assign task" section in the room chat
3. Enter a title for the task and click on "Next" > "Confirm task"
4. after that click on description and write something
5. Now click on "Mark as done" button
6. Go back to the room chat
