Action Performed:

1. In OldDot, create Collect plan, set as default
2. Set isPolicyExpenseChatEnabled = “true” on the policy by:
   1. Opening the policy settings in OldDot
   2. Open the JS console and run the following commands
   3. p = Policy.getCurrent();
   4. p.policy.isPolicyExpenseChatEnabled = "true";
   5. p.save();
3. In OldDot, create report on ^ policy & add an expense
4. In OldDot, submit the report (to yourself) & approve it
5. Open the report in NewDot, in another tab or device. Make sure that you have the expense report open and the reportID in the url matches. Make sure you can see both OldDot and NewDot at the same time.
6. In OldDot, mark the report as reimbursed (Reimburse -> I’ll do it manually). Important: Leave a message when you’re reimbursing the report saying “I’m manually reimbursing this report”

Expected Result:

In the NewDot tab, you should immediately see the new report action text, which should be You marked this report as manually reimbursed, saying "I'm marking this as manually reimbursed for testing". This report will be reimbursed outside of Expensify

Actual Result:

In the NewDot tab, you immediately see the new report action text, but it says: You marked this report as manually reimbursed. This report will be reimbursed outside of Expensify, saying I'm marking this as manually reimbursed for testing
