[Due for payment 2026-01-14] [$250] [AA Hold] Set proper creation timestamp to the new report optimistically created for the unapproved expenses at partial approval

Held on the backend changes that enables the new system message.

Part of the Hold for Advanced Approval project

Main issue: #56386
Doc section: Here
Project: #migrate

Feature Description

When an approver only approves the unheld transactions on a report, and the held transactions are moved to a new report, the following happens:

• a new report is optimistically created (this works already)
• We set the same creation timestamp to the new report as well as to its CREATED reportAction, as that of the original report. This is the current issue at hand
• we optimistically copy all workflow-related actions from the original report to the new report (issue here)
• we optimistically create the system message that explains to the user that the report was created for moving the unapproved expenses from the original report (issue here)

The backend has the following logic:

• Computes the original report creation timestamps
  • if the report has a CREATED reportAction, it takes its created timestamp
  • else is takes the original report created timestamp
• Sets the timestamp computed above as the
  • created value for the new report
  • created value for the CREATED reportAction added to the new report

Let's optimistically do the same on the front-end.
