@robertjchen FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[gijoe0295]

I think same RCA as #38848.

@anmurali Friendly bump, payment overdue by 2 days!

Summary:

• PR was created, merged and deployed to production
• PR caused a regression (issue) in another part of the app's functionality
• PR was reverted because the mutually selected solution was deemed unreliable

Note

More context here, here and here.
↪️ Based on the context and turn of events, please let us know whether there will be any payment here!

[anmurali]

Hmmm so this issue is effectively not fixed since the PR that fixed it caused a regression and therefore had to be reverted. Is that right? If yes, I don't think we would pay anyone anything yet.

[ikevin127]

I wasn't aware of this rule, but I understand.
I ended the Upwork Contributor contract as I don't have capacity to further invest time into fixing this issue.

For whoever wants to take on this issue:

• feel free to use any working part of my previous proposal, no credits required

[robertjchen]

Thanks for the efforts here, in that case I think we can consolidate to the issue here: #40724

[parasharrajat]

@robertjchen IMO both issues are different. But if you suggest to merge them, let's update the steps and expected behaviour on #40724

[robertjchen]

Ah, my mistake- I may have misread. Let's keep this open for now.

[parasharrajat]

We can also add Help Wanted label.

Cross posting my proposal from other issue, I think this issue has same RCA.

[melvin-bot]

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

[robertjchen]

Looks like it may be resolved by #40724 (comment) 👍

[melvin-bot]

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