@kbecciv , can you confirm this is not happening in production?

[dummy-1111]

This looks like a backend issue
When a user signs in, openApp API is called, but this API doesn't return transactions data. Transaction data is returned when openReport API is called and so some gap exists between them

As you can see below, we get report name of the transaction thread from the transaction
https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/c03a541c909f3619390d6ead73c8df23cd964e62/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts#L1859C5-L1859C5

That's why the transaction thread title appears a bit later
I think we need to return transactions data from openApp call in order to solve this issue

[danieldoglas]

I agree it sounds like a backend issue. I think adding transactions to the OpenApp call is in progress in the backend right now, so I don't think this needs to be a deploy blocker for the app.

[danieldoglas]

but my question remains, if this is not happening in production, it might mean that we had a change in our staging backend that caused this

[kbecciv]

@danieldoglas Issue is not reproduced on production

Hm, this is very intersting. I couldn't find anything that was deployed in staging that could cause this.

@danieldoglas This problem is already known and will be fixed with #31302.
You can see this problem now because we make the title blank instead of a placeholder when the transaction is null or empty.
