@PrashantMangukiya please wait for the help wanted label to be applied before submitting a proposal.

Unsure if this is a very high priority issue or how this feature is even supposed to work. Why are we able to deselect an attendee on the confirmation screen? Isn't that what the first screen is for?

[marcaaron]

cc @Julesssss in case you have the answer

[PrashantMangukiya]

@marcaaron got it, now onwards I will submit proposal after help wanted label applied. thanks.

IIRC this was a recent change and was desired so that you could split a bill from a group, but exclude certain members from the split. I guess this bug was missed during the review, but it seems like a valid one to fix.

I think we should just not let you deselect attendees from the confirmation screen in the global create split bill flow, right?

The split bill flow inside a group doesn't have the participant selector step, so it's not an issue in that flow that the change was intended to be implemented on only.

Yeah, I think we talked about this being missed from the PR but forgot to create an issue. That's the desired fix 👍

[trjExpensify]

Works for me! Do we want to convert this issue, or close it and open a fresh one?

[Julesssss]

I'm going to just create a new one, so the comments don't cause confusion.

[Julesssss]

Closing this. It will be fixed via this alternative change.
