I am gonna investigate this one in the meantime

[shubham1206agra]

I am unable to repro this. I am not seeing Green Dot Indicator in both cases

[luacmartins]

I can't reproduce either, but I think that we should show the green dot. It shows up if you navigate to another report and then back to the workspace chat.

[shubham1206agra]

True, but same behaviour is in prod I think. @kbecciv Can you confirm this?

[luacmartins]

In prod the workspace chat just disappears from the LHN in focus mode lol

[shubham1206agra]

In prod the workspace chat just disappears from the LHN in focus mode lol

Same in DEV

[shubham1206agra]

In normal mode too

[luacmartins]

Dev had the same behavior as staging for me

[luacmartins]

I think we're missing hasOutstandingChildRequest in the chat report

[luacmartins]

I'm gonna demote this to NAB since the prod behavior is also broken.

[shubham1206agra]

Can I take this as C+ here?

Hmm in that case I believe being an admin should take precedence and we should show the green indicator, since the user/admin should act on the request.
