Proposal

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

LHN preview is missing distance rate name in distance rate removal system message

What is the root cause of that problem?

In getOptionData we are not dealing with POLICY_CHANGE_LOG.DELETE_CUSTOM_UNIT_RATE action types when getting alternateText for the LHN so it is falling back to setting it to the lastMessage of the report which misses distance rate name

App/src/libs/SidebarUtils.ts

Lines 431 to 432 in b806725

	result.alternateText = ReportUtils.formatReportLastMessageText(getWelcomeMessage(report, policy).messageText ?? Localize.translateLocal('report.noActivityYet'));
	}

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

We need to set alternateText to the getReportActionMessageText of the lastAction if the last action type is POLICY_CHANGE_LOG.DELETE_CUSTOM_UNIT_RATE (FYI: That is how the report action is displayed in report action item) here

else if (lastAction?.actionName === CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.POLICY_CHANGE_LOG.DELETE_CUSTOM_UNIT_RATE) {
            result.alternateText = ReportActionsUtils.getReportActionMessageText(lastAction) ?? '';
        } 

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

@lanitochka17 @kadiealexander Can you try reproducing the bug. I was able to do that yesterday but not anymore

[trjExpensify]

CC: @neil-marcellini who's working on this project externally with context to help squash these? I think this one is conditional on the p2p beta for rate, so #vip-vsb related.

@allroundexperts, @kadiealexander Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[melvin-bot]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[melvin-bot]

@allroundexperts, @kadiealexander 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

[tsa321]

Maybe a BE issue. The report.lastMessageText doesn't include the rate name.

[melvin-bot]

@allroundexperts, @kadiealexander 10 days overdue. I'm getting more depressed than Marvin.

[melvin-bot]

@allroundexperts @kadiealexander this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[melvin-bot]

@allroundexperts, @kadiealexander 12 days overdue now... This issue's end is nigh!

I'm now realizing that this is related to distance rate configuration alone, not the P2P distance project.

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @Julesssss, @allroundexperts, @FitseTLT, @kadiealexander eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

[allroundexperts]

I think this is pending payment. Can someone please take a look?

[Julesssss]

HI @kadiealexander would you mind checking that payment hasn't occurred yet? Thanks

[FitseTLT]

@kadiealexander Payment overdue

[FitseTLT]

@kadiealexander Can you pls issue payment here?? Thx
