Early investigation says that it exists :

[chatReportIDAnnounce] => 81995234

Looked at the logs of creation of your workspace and it's looking like it worked. Will see if the frontend is not showing it for some reason.

[Santhosh-Sellavel]

Even after created announce room is not visible in the chat list.
Still, I can find them in search but still not a visible chat list.

[Dal-Papa]

Haven't had time to look at this, can you confirm this bug is still reproducible on v1.1.8-9 ?

Bump @Santhosh-Sellavel

[Santhosh-Sellavel]

Yes, still the created room is not visible in the chat list.

Also could not find the #announce chat room after workspace creation.
