We think that this bug might be related #vip-vsb

The root cause is the same as #35960.

The backend and frontend fixes should solve this issue as well.

[mananjadhav]

@s77rt Can you confirm if the linked issue fixes this one? If yes, then we can close this one out and update the issue description to add this one to the scope.

[s77rt]

@mananjadhav Yes looks same to me

[strepanier03]

Should we close this one or leave it open on hold to check the issue is fixed from #36196?

[s77rt]

Since editing the last message is intended the linked issue and PR won't fix this. I'm not sure about the expected behaviour here but I guess this need to be fixed in the BE.

@thienlnam If you assign a "Hidden" user should that user still stay hidden?

[thienlnam]

Yeah it sounds like it - if you didn't have their personal details before assigning them then they shouldn't be revealed after getting assigned

[melvin-bot]

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

[strepanier03]

Aah so maybe this needs to be Internal then?

[melvin-bot]

@mananjadhav, @strepanier03 Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[melvin-bot]

Current assignee @mananjadhav is eligible for the Internal assigner, not assigning anyone new.

[strepanier03]

Switched to Internal for a BE fix.

[mananjadhav]

Should we be putting this on Hold if not going to be prioritized?

[mananjadhav]

@strepanier03 did you get a chance to look at my question?

[strepanier03]

@mananjadhav - Sorry for the hold up, I've been OoO and this hasn't been a priority. Seeing as VSB is pretty much on hold now, I think we can put it on hold for now.

[strepanier03]

I'm setting monthly, this is on long term hold.

[strepanier03]

On hold at this time.

[strepanier03]

Still held on prioritization.

[mananjadhav]

@strepanier03 Any updates on this one?

[strepanier03]

This is for Tasks and we're not actively working or developing them unless they affect the onboarding flow, this does not. I'm closing and making not a priority.
