Proposal

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

The scan split created offline has no category & tag

What is the root cause of that problem?

When creating a split scan request, we call this function:

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepConfirmation.js

Lines 220 to 229 in 4c225f2

	IOU.startSplitBill(
	selectedParticipants,
	currentUserPersonalDetails.login,
	currentUserPersonalDetails.accountID,
	trimmedComment,
	transaction.category,
	transaction.tag,
	receiptFile,
	report.reportID,
	);

And inside it, when creating the optimistic split transaction, we do not pass the category & tag:

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.js

Lines 1800 to 1811 in bb86e24

	const splitTransaction = TransactionUtils.buildOptimisticTransaction(
	0,
	CONST.CURRENCY.USD,
	CONST.REPORT.SPLIT_REPORTID,
	comment,
	'',
	'',
	'',
	CONST.TRANSACTION.PARTIAL_TRANSACTION_MERCHANT,
	receiptObject,
	filename,
	);

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

We should pass the category & tag as parameters to TransactionUtils.buildOptimisticTransaction as well:

    const splitTransaction = TransactionUtils.buildOptimisticTransaction(
        0,
        CONST.CURRENCY.USD,
        CONST.REPORT.SPLIT_REPORTID,
        comment,
        '',
        '',
        '',
        CONST.TRANSACTION.PARTIAL_TRANSACTION_MERCHANT,
        receiptObject,
        filename,
+        undefined,
+        category,
+        tag
    );

Similar to how we pass it here:

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.js

Lines 1366 to 1380 in bb86e24

	const splitTransaction = TransactionUtils.buildOptimisticTransaction(
	amount,
	currency,
	CONST.REPORT.SPLIT_REPORTID,
	comment,
	'',
	'',
	'',
	merchant || Localize.translateLocal('iou.request'),
	undefined,
	undefined,
	undefined,
	category,
	tag,
	);

@paultsimura's proposal looks good to me, the fix is pretty straightforward
