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

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@twisterdotcom Still overdue 6 days?! Let's take care of this!

[twisterdotcom]

This is very weird. It doesn't actually save it as the primary, but it always looks like it is? Video incoming.

@twisterdotcom, @Ollyws Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@twisterdotcom @Ollyws this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

Still waiting on some proposals here

Still waiting on a proposal

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@twisterdotcom, @Ollyws Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[twisterdotcom]

Still waiting. Making weekly. Not sure if @Beamanator or @marcaaron have any ideas.

[marcaaron]

Was the main account validated or not? I believe we will make the secondary your primary if you add it then validate it while the original account you logged in as is not yet validated.

actually save it as the primary, but it always looks like it is

Seems like maybe in the frontend then I'd guess (perhaps related to the issue above).

[twisterdotcom]

Correct, the actual backend isn't changed, but the UI in newDot is.

In my example, my primary was already validated.

• Finding a contributor to fix the bug

Upwork job price has been updated to $500

[twisterdotcom]

Bumping this up for the new year. It's a pretty confusing bug IMO.

This is still a problem:
