@puneetlath I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

[izarutskaya]

We think this issue might be related to the #vip-vsb.

I don't see the option "Pre-approve join requests" in my Old Dot!!!!

[mountiny]

I think this is still a new feature for new dot and we should not hold deploy on this one, its clumsy behaviour for the user, but its not blocking their use of the App, hence removing the label

I believe we have to update the the logix which creates the options the switcher to exclude the requested policies.

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @parasharrajat (External)

[nkdengineer]

Proposal

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

The unapproved workspace appears in the workspace switcher for User B with empty name and it is selected by default.

What is the root cause of that problem?

In here, we don't have logic to filter out the workspace that's still pending/not approved. So it will still show up.

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

In here, add logic to filter out the workspace that's still pending/not approved

&& !policy?.isJoinRequestPending

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can optionally add it into PolicyUtils.shouldShowPolicy, but I don't think we should because the workspace should still be used in the Workspace List, and we also uses shouldShowPolicy in workspace list.

[parasharrajat]

@nkdengineer's proposal makes sense as per the expected section.
