@kevinksullivan This issue seems to be a BE issue rather than a front-end issue. See attached screen recording (iOS is User A, Web is User B). When adding a new sub-task, it does show up on User A immediately, as expected. But once you assign the task to yourself, note that the log screen is empty, meaning we received nothing from the pusher. No pusher data means no UI updates on User A. Once we finally assign the task to account A, we see pusher activity in the logs and the UI reflects the new assignment.

It appears that the BE will look at the sub-task and think it has nothing todo with User A. In fact, looking at it in isolation, it doesn't really. The link between the sub-task and User A is through the parent task. Maybe the BE is not taking that into account? It looks at the sub-task in isolation and ignore the parent relationship and therefore never pushes data to User A?

There's also another problem, at the end of the video. After assigning the sub-task to User A, if you later assign it to a 3rd user, User A UI will update, but it will clear the assignment instead of showing the 3rd user.

Either way, doesn't look like this can be fixed on the FE.

Looping in engineering to confirm ^

@madmax330 @kevinksullivan @rushatgabhane 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!

cc @thienlnam penny for your thoughts? Since you worked on the tasks implementation

[thienlnam]

Ah yeah, this looks like we're not sending a pusher update to update the reportAction of the task parent on the assignee update - I can spin up a PR for this

EDIT: Wait, does this also happen for the task name? It seems like it would from looking at the code if User B has not opened the task yet

[madmax330]

@thienlnam made the fix for this.

[melvin-bot]

@kevinksullivan, @rushatgabhane, @thienlnam Still overdue 6 days?! Let's take care of this!

[thienlnam]

Let's verify if this is still happening from the BE fix and if not we can close

[melvin-bot]

@kevinksullivan, @rushatgabhane, @thienlnam Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[melvin-bot]

@kevinksullivan, @rushatgabhane, @thienlnam Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[kevinksullivan]

Any update @thienlnam ?

[thienlnam]

@lanitochka17 Could we please get this one retested?

[melvin-bot]

@kevinksullivan, @rushatgabhane, @thienlnam Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...
