Proposal

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

Reports - Total and Action column is on the middle of expense row briefly after submit invoice

What is the root cause of that problem?

Both CONST.REPORT.TRANSACTION_LIST.COLUMNS.ACTION and CONST.SEARCH.TABLE_COLUMNS.ACTION have the same value 'action', so they are equivalent.

The problem is in the getColumnsToShow function. When isExpenseReportView = true (which is used for invoice reports), the ACTION column is not included in the initial columns configuration, but when isExpenseReportView = false (which is used for the Reports page), the ACTION column is included).

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

Can add the missing type here

              [CONST.REPORT.TRANSACTION_LIST.COLUMNS.ACTION]: false,

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

Update test to cover this case
