We think this issue might be related to the #vip-vsb.

Proposal

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

Threads - Nothing happens when Clicking Profile picture in detail of Group Chat thread

What is the root cause of that problem?

Here we prevent navigation to REPORT_AVATAR page for group chats

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

Remove this condition or update the check to icons.length > 1

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Add prop disabled={isGroupChat} for PressableWithoutFocus component

This feature is still in development and the decision to return early was done intentionally c.c. @marcaaron

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

Threads - Nothing happens when Clicking Profile picture in detail of Group Chat

What is the root cause of that problem?

The main problem with issue is that we have removed the ability to open an icon if it is a group chat

App/src/pages/ReportDetailsPage.tsx

Lines 218 to 222 in 0e6dba4

	<RoomHeaderAvatars
	icons={icons}
	reportID={report?.reportID}
	isGroupChat={ReportUtils.isGroupChat(report)}
	/>

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/0e6dba4fe604421dd30103b9a065deea3460b870/src/components/RoomHeaderAvatars.tsx#L21C9-L23C10

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

To fix this issue we can update this condition and add ability to press when it's group chat thread

isGroupChat={ReportUtils.isGroupChat(report) && !ReportUtils.isThread(report)}

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

As alternative we can change cursor when it's group chat

style={[styles.noOutline, isGroupChat && styles.cursorDefault]}

App/src/components/RoomHeaderAvatars.tsx

Line 45 in 0e6dba4

style={styles.noOutline}

This might be expected - can you confirm this comment #39760 (comment) @marcaaron? <3

[marcaaron]

Yes, not a bug we just didn't add it yet. We should add it. But let's get the feature mostly done first.

Current assignee @greg-schroeder is eligible for the NewFeature assigner, not assigning anyone new.
