Hi, I’m Michael (Mykhailo) from Callstack and I would like to work on this issue.

[rezkiy37]

So, I've investigated the problem. Looks like the app does not have all details about a newly added workspace for some initial period. The app does not have such important properties like: name and isPolicyExpenseChatEnabled. I think that must be investigated from the backend side to handle this data gap and add/pass all important properties.

@DylanDylann, please take a look at a comment above.

[miljakljajic]

I'll share this internally @rezkiy37 and get more eyes on your comments/thesis. Thank you for investigating! I think this relates to wave6 - I'll tag you in my comment

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

Actually maybe this could go in Critical as it's a cross-compatibility bug in the end

This got deployed to prod, I think we can close it.
