Proposal:
Return isLastMessageDeleted from getSimplifiedReportObject() in src/libs/actions/Report.js

App/src/libs/actions/Report.js

Lines 177 to 187 in a98df64

	let lastMessageText = null;
	if (report.reportActionCount > 0) {
	// We are removing any html tags from the message html since we cannot access the text version of any comments as
	// the report only has the raw reportActionList and not the processed version returned by Report_GetHistory
	// We convert the line-breaks in html to space ' ' before striping the tags
	lastMessageText = lastActionMessage
	.replace(/((<br[^>]*>)+)/gi, ' ')
	.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/gi, '') || `[${Localize.translateLocal('common.deletedCommentMessage')}]`;
	lastMessageText = ReportUtils.formatReportLastMessageText(lastMessageText);
	}

+    let isLastMessageDeleted = false;
    let lastMessageText = null;
    if (report.reportActionCount > 0) {
        // We are removing any html tags from the message html since we cannot access the text version of any comments as
        // the report only has the raw reportActionList and not the processed version returned by Report_GetHistory
        // We convert the line-breaks in html to space ' ' before striping the tags
        lastMessageText = lastActionMessage
            .replace(/((<br[^>]*>)+)/gi, ' ')
            .replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/gi, '') || `[${Localize.translateLocal('common.deletedCommentMessage')}]`;
        lastMessageText = ReportUtils.formatReportLastMessageText(lastMessageText);
+        isLastMessageDeleted = !lastActionMessage && true
    }

and use it in src/libs/OptionsListUtils.js in the following way:

App/src/libs/OptionsListUtils.js

Lines 229 to 231 in a98df64

	const lastMessageTextFromReport = ReportUtils.isReportMessageAttachment(lodashGet(report, 'lastMessageText', ''))
	? `[${Localize.translateLocal('common.attachment')}]`
	: Str.htmlDecode(lodashGet(report, 'lastMessageText', ''));

 let lastMessageTextFromReport = ReportUtils.isReportMessageAttachment(lodashGet(report, 'lastMessageText', ''))
        ? `[${Localize.translateLocal('common.attachment')}]`
        : Str.htmlDecode(lodashGet(report, 'lastMessageText', ''));
+    lastMessageTextFromReport = lodashGet(report, 'isLastMessageDeleted', false) 
+        ? `[${Localize.translateLocal('common.deletedCommentMessage')}]`
+        : lastMessageTextFromReport;

Aren't we removing [comment deleted] in #7646 ?

[Julesssss]

Yes, good spot.

It's not certain that we'll prioritize that improvement internally though. I think we should just make this fix anyway for now.

[parasharrajat]

Oh. Sorry, I thought it is a regression so I tagged Sobit.

[SofiedeVreese]

To reconfirm, this is not a regression and should be pushed externally?
