Hey, I'm Marcin from Callstack - expert contributor group - I would like to take a look at this issue

[melvin-bot]

@eVoloshchak, @slafortune Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[sakluger]

Heads up, I just closed a related issue with the same root cause: #22481. It's the same behavior, but on a different page (the task assignee contact list). Let's make sure that the fix here also fixes that other page.

has the root cause been identified or just the behaviour?

[sakluger]

@Swor71 just the behavior, but the issue is the same, so I still think we should try to investigate both and fix together.

[slafortune]

Great! Assigning you @Swor71 !

@jliexpensify I tested the feature and indeed the "fake look up" was removed, which I think solves our issue because the assignee name and avatar not being changed was a problem for "local users" (the ones with fake data that would eventually be overwritten by an object with the proper user data).

If, for instance, account A adds someone to a workspace and, while holding on the "Assign Task" action, the account B changes his/her information those are properly updated on the account A's screen, so it's working fine I think:
