Proposal

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

The LHN preview displays "[user] paid" instead of "[user] paid [amount]"

What is the root cause of that problem?

We pass amount as empty string here

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 5232 in 1769b5d

return translateLocal(translatePhraseKey, '', payerDisplayName ?? '');

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

We should pass the correct amount here

return translateLocal(translatePhraseKey, formattedAmount, payerDisplayName ?? '');

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 5232 in 1769b5d

return translateLocal(translatePhraseKey, '', payerDisplayName ?? '');

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Reminder: Please use plain English, be brief and avoid jargon. Feel free to use images, charts or pseudo-code if necessary. Do not post large multi-line diffs or write walls of text. Do not create PRs unless you have been hired for this job.

Proposal

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

The LHN preview displays "[user] paid" instead of "[user] paid [amount]"

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are missing the amount being passed here:

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 5231 in 77aa31b

return translateLocal(translatePhraseKey, '', payerDisplayName ?? '');

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

We need to pass formattedAmount to iou.payerPaidAmount and similar places.

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 5231 in 77aa31b

return translateLocal(translatePhraseKey, '', payerDisplayName ?? '');

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 5219 in 77aa31b

return translateLocal(translatePhraseKey, '', reportPolicy?.achAccount?.accountNumber?.slice(-4) ?? '');

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

N/A

[RachCHopkins]

Definitely missing. It's even more cut off in Safari.
