@strepanier03 FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

@strepanier03 Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[strepanier03]

I'm going to raise this internally because this behavior mirrors what happens on olddot right now. The formula for the report title when updated isn't reflected on existing reports until the report itself is updated in some way.

I'll update here shortly.

[strepanier03]

Raised here.

Perhaps @Expensify/design knows?
