Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

When tasks are completed and reopened in Task Report, the Task Report is not getting updated realtime.

What is the root cause of that problem?

Once the task actions for complete task and reopen task are initiated and completed, the front end does not have the updated comments from the Task Report action. Hence, there is no real time update of the Task Report . This is the root cause.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Once the API request for CompleteTask and ReopenTask commands are initiated, also initiate an API request for OpenReport command so that updated report actions are triggered to perform real time updates to the Task Report.

The following line needs to be added after API calls
Report.openReport(taskReportID);

The code is referenced for CompleteTask here and for ReopenTask here.

Alternatively, the backend can also update the Report Actions for the Task Report as part of API response of CompleteTask and ReopenTask. This will trigger the updates to the Task Report.

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)

ai - coming back to this late. I just tried to reproduce and I'm seeing the task updates in real time. I think we can close this due to the upstream fix
