Action Performed:

Precondition : Have 2 reimbursed expenses in a workspace chat and tag is disabled

1. Open the app
2. There are two unpinned expenses showing a red brick road (RBR) for the expenses
3. Click each expense as submitter
4. As a approver (Garrett) click on the expense as well

Expected Result:
I'd expect to be able to resolve the error creating the RBR (aka updating the missing category and missing tag) and the chats would go away from my chats pane as I do not have them pinned.

Actual Result:
When viewing on Chrome browser, I am unable to view one the expenses when clicking into it to view the issue causing the error, and for the other, I am unable to edit the error flagged on the expense as it shows as already submitted and approved in February.)

Workaround:

unknown

Noting that in both cases, the expenses are approved and therefore the submitter and approver cannot make changes to the expense, only an admin can. Based on this, the submitter should not be seeing a RBR on these expenses

Thanks for clarifying that, @heyjennahay!

I don't think we should do this, the server should not be sending these reports in the first place. Let's not introduce some kind of a hack on the client to ignore data that the server shouldn't be sending in the first place

[johncschuster]

Oh nice! I didn't know the server shouldn't be sending these in the first place. In that case, I agree, we should address that instead.
