Triggered auto assignment to @chiragsalian (Engineering), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4319 for more details.

@lanitochka17, can you elaborate what you mean by this,

Open the chat from the precondition

what do you mean by precondition?

Also i tested the private notes on a DM and a group chat and it seemed to work fine for me on staging chrome. Can you double check?
Meanwhile I'll ping the authors of #31344 to double check as well.

[chiragsalian]

Asked authors in slack here
Asked QA here.

I don't see any issue so I've asked others to confirm. If the issue does infact persist we can revert #31344 but i'd like to confirm it first before reverting.

[chiragsalian]

As discussed here, not a blocker.

Assigning @DylanDylann and @ArekChr to follow up with a fix as early as possible.
If it helps, i was able to reproduce the issue by logging out, logging in and then clicking on an existing private notes. Then i see the editor instead of the list. For me this happens just once and then its fine until i log out and log in again. Please check and implement a fix.

[chiragsalian]

i removed the job posting from upwork because it was created by accident, this issue is about fixing a logic with a very recent PR.

[DylanDylann]

I am working on it

[DylanDylann]

@ArekChr Please help review PR #32327

[jjcoffee]

Found a possible regression whilst testing for #31257. If you go offline before the GetReportPrivateNote request completes, the notes page still loads but is always empty (even when there are notes saved).

[DylanDylann]

@jjcoffee

the notes page still loads but is always empty

• What is the "notes page" that you mentioned? (Currently, we have two page, "notes list" page and "notes edit" page

[jjcoffee]

Apologies, forgot to attach a video. It's the notes list page (I think), but we get navigated to the edit page (incorrectly):

issue-2023-12-14_14.44.06.mp4

[DylanDylann]

@jjcoffee

• Do you have any suggestions in this case? Because if the getReportPrivateNote is not called successfully, we will navigate user to edit note page as expected.
• My suggestion is that, BE will return the private note data when in the OpenReport API.

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @chiragsalian, @ArekChr 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!

[DylanDylann]

@jjcoffee Can you help check this one #32302 (comment) once you have a chance

[mvtglobally]

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)

[jjcoffee]

@DylanDylann I'm not sure I fully understand your comment or if you are proposing a particular solution, but I think it's up to the C+ on this issue to handle regressions. cc @ArekChr

[DylanDylann]

@jjcoffee Maybe @ArekChr is not available at this time

[ArekChr]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I wanted to let you know that I'm no longer in the C+ role, as I've moved to the Waves team. Could you please assign a new C+ to take over here? Thanks!

[shubham1206agra]

@mallenexpensify This seems to require a new C+ for some time, and Overdue was not applied here due to the Reviewing label. Can QA retest #32302 (comment) and maybe we can open this for External contributors? I am happy to volunteer for C+ position here.

[melvin-bot]

@chiragsalian, @ArekChr, this Monthly task hasn't been acted upon in 6 weeks; closing.

If you disagree, feel encouraged to reopen it -- but pick your least important issue to close instead.

[mallenexpensify]

QA, for retesting, here's a vid example
#32302 (comment)

@shubham1206agra , yes, I'll assign you as C+ if the bug persists after more testing. Did you try to reproduce?
