Action Performed:

Precondition:

• Workspace has per diem rates

1. Go to staging.new.expensify.com
2. Go to workspace chat
3. Click + > Submit expense > Per diem
4. Create a per diem expense
5. Go to transaction thread
6. Note that Amount field is disabled
7. Click Description
8. Change "description" in the link to "amount"
9. Navigate to the modified link
10. Edit the amount and save it

Expected Result:

Since the amount field is disabled in Step 6 (also per diem expense amount cannot be edited on OD), the modified link in Step 9 should lead to not here page

Actual Result:

The modified link in Step 9 opens amount editor and user can change the amount from there
