Proposal

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

Category - Selected category is absent in Recent when split scan is created offline

What is the root cause of that problem?

When creating optimistic IOU report using buildOptimisticTransaction we don't pass category.

App/src/libs/TransactionUtils.ts

Line 87 in 6cfdd6f

function buildOptimisticTransaction(

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

We need to pass category and other missing fields when building optimistic data, tag and billable are also not passed to buildOptimisticTransaction.

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.js

Line 1800 in 6cfdd6f

const splitTransaction = TransactionUtils.buildOptimisticTransaction(
