Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @cubuspl42 (External)

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Suggested destinations are displayed for the start and finish even after returning online. On the Distance expense receipt, the new address is shown below the suggested one

What is the root cause of that problem?

In here, we're not setting name of waypoint to null when saving waypoint in offline mode. This causes the new selected waypoint to retain the name of the old waypoint (Cody). We already did the same here in the old flow but it looks like we missed to implement the same for the new money request flow.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

In here, set name of waypoint to null when saving waypoint in offline mode, or can set to values.name || null.

We should do the same here.

Basically we should do the same as we did in this PR (which is for the old money request flow), but we do it for the new money request flow.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA

@dukenv0307 Did you test the proposed changes? Have you confirmed that the changes previously applied to the old flow are suitable for the new flow?
