Proposal

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

When creating a money request, IOU report isn't displayed in LHN

What is the root cause of that problem?

We hide the muted chats intentionally in this PR #22717
Later we hide the hidden chats in this PR #25618

When creating a money request, notificationPreference is set to hidden by backend

This is the root cause

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

I'm not sure why we didn't show reports with notificationPreference = hidden. I think we should hide muted reports
Update

App/src/components/LHNOptionsList/OptionRowLHN.js

Lines 90 to 93 in 31b19ea

	const isHidden = optionItem.notificationPreference === CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE.HIDDEN;
	if (isHidden && !props.isFocused && !optionItem.isPinned) {
	return null;
	}

to

    const isMuted = optionItem.notificationPreference === CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE.MUTE;
    if (isMuted && !props.isFocused && !optionItem.isPinned) {
        return null;
    }

This works as expected

Result

34757.mp4

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Option 1
The backend doesn't set the notificationPreference to hidden

Option 2
We don't hide the hidden IOU report while hide the hidden report

Proposal

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

Created IOU is not displayed on LHN

What is the root cause of that problem?

The IOU report has notificationPreference is hidden when we build the optimistic data and BE also return it as hidden by default.

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 2720 in 991a4e2

notificationPreference: CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE.HIDDEN,

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 2678 in 991a4e2

notificationPreference: CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE.HIDDEN,

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

Change the default notificationPreference of IOU report as CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE.ALWAYS and BE should fix this as well.

I know that it's intentional before but I think we shouldn't hide the IOU report by default.

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Line 2720 in 991a4e2

notificationPreference: CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE.HIDDEN,

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts
