Issue reported by: Applause Internal Team
Device used: Windows 10
App Component: Workspace Settings

Action Performed:

Precondition: Create a workspace

1. Navigate to https://staging.new.expensify.com/
2. Go to "Workspace" setting
3. Enable taxes and tag
4. Make changes in the tags, categories taxes etc (eg. add/remove/edit values)
5. Navigate to #admin room
6. Send a message
7. Repeat steps 2 to 4

Expected Result:

When the user makes changes in workspace settings, a new system message should immediately appear in the #admin room at first time.

Actual Result:

The first time the user edits or adds tags, categories, or rates, no system message appears in the #admin room. Only after the user sends a manual message in the room, subsequent workspace changes start generating system messages correctly.
