FYI most likely related to https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1739435484596829?thread_ts=1739328522.587109&cid=C01GTK53T8Q and we are discussing and working on solutions for this

[adamgrzybowski]

I can look into this one

[adamgrzybowski]

Okay, I see what is going on here. Tomorrow I will consult this with @WojtekBoman as he stumbled upon something similar. We need to figure out the right solution for such cases.

In short: it's goBack again.

It's even possible to reproduce this on prod if you refresh the page on the confirmation page.

After looking into this one a bit more, i dont think we have to block the deploy on this as the user can easily complete the action they wanted
