@chiragsalian FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[lanitochka17]

We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsp

[chiragsalian]

I can reproduce this issue on web too. Its more easily reproducible when i set network speed to "slow 3g" in chrome developer tools. I have not verified but i suspect the issue is from the change in this PR - https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/33124. The optimistic data might not be set the same way as production.

imo not a blocker since this is a minor bug and only affects optimistic data. removing blocker label and demoting.

cc @robertjchen since I noticed you are working on this - https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/31345. Should the IOU preview be greyed out or not as the API processes PayMoneyRequest. I feel like perhaps it should not be greyed out but wanted to double-check with you.

[robertjchen]

Yep, not a blocker for sure- let me followup on the correct behavior.
