hmm was is split bill even showing up in the + list for an #announce room?

From the looks of it after the split is created it creates a new report in the LHN since it is being split between 2 users (so a manual request) not with the workspace.

I haven't been following much with Manual Requests so I'm not 100% sure that option should be showing or not.
