I think should be fixed from BE, because transaction used for TransactionPreviewContent.tsx is not updated

👀 plz @lakchote since you're working on split.

This is related to the UpdateMoneyRequestAmountAndCurrency and UpdateMoneyRequestMerchant commands, as this flow won't call the SplitTransaction command when editing the amount or merchant.

So at first glance, this seems to be more of a generic problem with transaction updates than a split-specific problem.

My bandwidth is a bit full at the moment as I'm focusing on Splits v2 + Decline in NewDot. I'll take a look when I can!
