Version Number: N/A Reproducible in staging?: Y Reproducible in production?: Y If this was caught during regression testing, add the test name, ID and link from TestRail: Email or phone of affected tester (no customers): Logs: https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4856 Expensify/Expensify Issue URL: Issue reported by: @coleaeason / @trjExpensify Slack conversation (hyperlinked to channel name): migrate

Action Performed:

1. Create an expense
2. Select the checkbox next to the expense (this should work the same in the report view and the Reports page view)
3. Click 1 selected

Expected Result:

Since you can split in the More menu of an editable, non-split transaction, you should see it in the 1 selected menu as well. There are a few additional pieces of context here:

• Submitters and assigned approvers can split expenses that they can edit.
• Admins can split expenses on Draft and Processing reports.
• Non-editable expenses include pending Expensify Card expenses and Expensiworks expenses for all users.
• Users should not see the Split option in the 1 selected menu for portions of expenses that have already been split.

Actual Result:

Split isn't an option in the 1 selected menu.

Workaround:

Users can still open the expense via RHP and split.

@dubielzyk-expensify I think this one is pretty simple. Fig here, but: Reports page:

Report view:

[dubielzyk-expensify]

What do you need here sorry? 😅

The green button should say 1 selected btw

[ZhenjaHorbach]

@garrettmknight About Reports page Do we really need to add Split here? Since we don't have Merge in this menu also

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0bc57414-b7da-4fbd-9c01-ad39d2941aba

[trjExpensify]

yep, we do.. Merge is in the process of being added by @youssef-lr I believe.

[ZhenjaHorbach]

And I suppose in the future we will need to fix the order of the elements 😅

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @muttmuure, @ZhenjaHorbach, @eh2077, @dubielzyk-expensify eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

Hello everyone, I got the issue from Upwork, checked the repo and the NewDot build, and concluded it can come from the usage of ReportSecondaryActionUtils that has isSplitAction() function

Unless I am wrong, this is where I believed to be the starting problem to trace the issue. As there are some if checks to be done there, I suspect to check it first there

So, if you don't mind:

• I can check all of those if checks to make sure everything is working as intended
• If that is not the real problem, I can trace to the usage of where isSplitAction() is used in the regarded context and implement fix
• If everything that uses isSplitAction() traced and still has the same issue, I may discuss some potential solutions with the core team if needed

This feature was already implemented a few weeks ago 😅 And it will be closed soon

[Corfliss]

Ah, I see. No worries. Probably I have to ask if the issue is already implemented next time, as I have no clue except a few, but those still need clarification 😁

[melvin-bot[bot]]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@eh2077 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!
