Action Performed:

1. Open two new accounts
2. Open account A and click on FAB > Assign a task
3. Give the task a title and on the assign account B for the task
4. Click on Settings > account name and rename it as "account A"
5. Go to account B and rename it as "account B" as well
6. Go back to account A and open the task thread
7. Click on assignee and observe the contact list
8. Change the assignee to be account B
9. Observe the assignee and observe the LHN

Expected Result:

After account B has been renamed that should be updated on the assignee contact list as well.

Actual Result:

Renamed account B name is not updated on assignee contact list and email is being shown. When user clicks on account B's email to assign the task you can see first the email show up and then the renamed name appears on the assignee place. Also this does not update on LHN as it says that account B's email has assigned a task to you.

Workaround:

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?

I think this is a duplicate of #22293. I asked in the Slack thread how they are different.
