as for the paymenet either you @JmillsExpensify or @strepanier03?
Ah yes, I was simply informing @sketchydroide that no payment is due now.
Yeah, we paid for internal reviews when the PR is merged, because if there are regressions that affects payment.
Will review it shortly!
I think the behaviour is incorrect even if we sanitise the input because the name in an app that a user is seeing is different for the other user, it’s just a reversed bug now, as the commas should not appear on the person that saved the name. Let’s keep this open but change the copy of the issue to address what is actually wrong.
