Version Number: 1.4.20-2 Reproducible in staging?: Y Reproducible in production?: Y If this was caught during regression testing, add the test name, ID and link from TestRail: Email or phone of affected tester (no customers): Logs: https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4856 Expensify/Expensify Issue URL: Issue reported by: Applause - Internal Team Slack conversation:

Action Performed:

1. [Member] Request money in workspace chat
2. [Admin] Pay the request
3. [Member] Click on the expense preview to go to expense report
4. [Member] Right click on the paid system message > Copy to clipboard
5. [Member] Paste the content Note that

Expected Result:

1. The system message should always start with the action, not the actor, regardless of who is viewing the chat. So the system message should read paid $10 rather than John paid $10 or John's Workspace paid $10.
2. When a user copies a system message, we should copy only what is printed, rather than adding the actor (so we should copy paid $10 instead of copying John Doe paid $10)

Actual Result:

1. Depending on who is viewing the report, the system message shows either paid amount elsewhere or [admin] paid amount elsewhere.
2. When the user copies and pastes the system message, it shows something different from what was printed originally (it shows [Workspace name] paid amount elsewhere.

Workaround:

Unknown
