Action Performed:

Pre-requisite: There must be a task history over user A and user B. Please assign task from User A to User B and send some messages. User B must be a phone number.

2 Set amount and description and select User B
3. Split money and verify if you get error

Expected Result:

There should be no error in splitting money with registered users.

Got these errors : “There is a previously existing chat between these users.”
“Auth GetEmailByAccountID returned an error” and “Unexpected error requesting money, please try again later”
I got error with both registered and unregistered mobile numbers

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor Plus for review of internal employee PR - @abdulrahuman5196 (Internal)

[mallenexpensify]

Updated OP to make it clear at the beginning that User B needs to be a phone number. I was able to reproduce,

@abdulrahuman5196 , can you also test to see if you're able to reproduce then propose if this should be internal or external? thx

[melvin-bot]

@mallenexpensify, @abdulrahuman5196 Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[abdulrahuman5196]

Will check and update in the morning

[abdulrahuman5196]

@mallenexpensify I was able to reproduce this issue. I think there should be some issue in what report Id we are using for split in frontend, since it is not expected to create a new report since we already have a chat with the user created by the task.
We can open it for external, there could be some internal work. But the investigation place to start is in frontend.

Same root cause with #22433

Made External, dropped a comment on #22433 for Kadie to keep tabs on this, thanks for the comment @bernhardoj

[abdulrahuman5196]

I think both the issues are related from the root cause from @bernhardoj. I will review the proposal here and re-check if the solution solves both the issues and update back.
Meanwhile, @bernhardoj could you kindly post your proposal here as well specific to this issue?

[abdulrahuman5196]

I had already posted in open source channel days back, missed to paste the reference here https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1692383613454819

But still no update @mallenexpensify

[melvin-bot]

@mallenexpensify, @abdulrahuman5196 Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

[mallenexpensify]

Thanks @abdulrahuman5196 , I posted again and tagged the @engineering-team, to see if that helps. I'm guessing you're unable to. Let's see if we get some 🎣
