@bernhardoj @yuwenmemon @s77rt it seems like this PR missed the LHN last text message. Could you please take a look?

[bernhardoj]

This is actually a dupe of this issue here #15920. It's indeed related to the PR, but this issue has other root cause that we agree to handle it separately #15508 (comment).

[s77rt]

@luacmartins This is unrelated to that PR. LHN last message will be fixed here #15340

[luacmartins]

Sounds good! Thank you both!

[laurenreidexpensify]

Does that mean we can close this one @luacmartins ?

[luacmartins]

Yes, we can close this issue.
