I have some doubts about the expected result here.

After I removed the default workspace in the NewDot, the BE returns nvp_expensify_activePolicyID set to DB1947ED5B812B29 for me.

But DB1947ED5B812B29 is the id of the individual workspace, which is displayed in the OD, but not in the ND:

So the ND app can't retrieve the admins room report of this individual workspace and shows the Not Found page.

If we want, after removing the default workspace to turn into default one another workspace, the API needs to be updated to return the correct nvp_expensify_activePolicyID value.
