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

[maddylewis]

asking if this is a dupe here - https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C049HHMV9SM/p1680634229889509?thread_ts=1680092907.036909&cid=C049HHMV9SM

I think this is sort of a dupe of #16090 if this is specifically a bug about the workspace name going back to the old name after you go online.

I'm pretty sure this, #16090, and #17111 all probably have the same root cause for the workspace name not properly updating so I think we should focus on #16090 to fix that.

This and #17111 also deal with deleting the workspace though so there may be another bug in these flows as well that has to deal with deleting the workspace so if we could isolate what that is exactly from the name change not working that'd be great and then we could close this or #17111

@maddylewis Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

@bondydaa - just confirming your thinking on this one.

are you saying that once #16090 is fixed/closed, i can close this one out?

or, once #16090 is live, we should move forward with fixing the bug report on this issue (#16776)?

[bondydaa]

I guess it depends on what the desired outcome of this bug report is.

@kbecciv could you clarify maybe a bit more for this ticket what we want out of this ticket?

@maddylewis this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

bumping @kbecciv on this comment here - #16776 (comment)

[kbecciv]

@bondydaa @maddylewis Created and deleted workspace offine should not change its status when the user is back online.

[bondydaa]

I was just made aware of this tracking issue #12775

Which is most likely the root cause for the problem with the workspace being deleted then re-appearing so I think we can hold this issue for those changes then retest.

[maddylewis]

still holding for this one - #12775

will retest once that issue is fixed.

[maddylewis]

still holding i believe - #12775

PR on staging - #12775 (comment)

[neil-marcellini]

This is no longer on hold for the replay effect, but I think we should hold it on #15550 because it's a more simple case of this problem.

[maddylewis]

still holding

[maddylewis]

still holding - #15550

[maddylewis]

moving to monthly while still on hold - #15550

[maddylewis]

since this is now also on hold (#15550), im going to close this. we can reopen if this is still an issue after the underlying issues are addressed in the other issues.
