@puneetlath 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

Looks like this one has been unassigned for a while, so I will work on re-triaging this to confirm it still exists!

[joekaufmanexpensify]

Not overdue

I just triaged this and we do seem to show the approver the GBR on the submitters workspaces chat now!

I submitted a report from [email protected] to [email protected]. Then, as [email protected], I took over the report in OldDot and approved and forwarded it back to [email protected].

I then signed into [email protected] and see the GBR in the LHN of the workspace chat to action the approval.

Going to close this out, as it appears to be fixed. LMK if anything else is needed!
