Proposal

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

Assigned task title not updated when copying after changing title

What is the root cause of that problem?

Inconsistent between two text, the displayed text is the translated for actionName + task title, but the copied text is the originalMessage html

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

We need to copy the translated for actionName + task title instead of originalMessage html
for that, we need to create a function in ReportActionsUtils.js

function getTaskStatusMessageText(actionName, reportID) {
    let taskStatusText = '';
    switch (actionName) {
        case CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.TASKCOMPLETED:
            taskStatusText = Localize.translateLocal('task.messages.completed');
            break;
        case CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.TASKCANCELLED:
            taskStatusText = Localize.translateLocal('task.messages.canceled');
            break;
        case CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.TASKREOPENED:
            taskStatusText = Localize.translateLocal('task.messages.reopened');
            break;
        default:
            taskStatusText = Localize.translateLocal('task.task');
    }

    return `${taskStatusText} ${allReports[reportID].reportName}`;
}

and use it here

onPress: (closePopover, {reportAction, selection, reportID}) => {
  // const messageHtml = isTaskAction ? lodashGet(originalMessage, 'html', '') : lodashGet(message, 'html', '');
  const messageHtml = isTaskAction ? ReportActionsUtils.getTaskStatusMessageText(reportAction.actionName, reportID) : lodashGet(message, 'html', '');

The function can use also in TaskAction.js

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

we can use reportAction.childReportName for task title and create a function in ReportActionsUtils.js to get translated value for actionName like the above (taskStatusText part).
