Explanation of Change

When "Members must tag all expenses" is toggled on, the policy-level requiresTag flag is set to true along with required on each individual tag list. However, when backend syncs overwrite tag data, the per-tag-list required field can be reset to undefined. Since getTagVisibility was falling back to false when required was undefined, the "Required" label disappeared from the confirm details page.

This PR changes the fallback from false to policy?.requiresTag, aligning tag behavior with how categories already use policy.requiresCategory. When the policy-level requiresTag is true, tags are always marked as required regardless of the per-tag-list required value.

AI Tests

  • Ran TagsOptionsListUtilsTest.ts — all 16 tests passed (13 existing + 3 new)
    • New: should fall back to policy.requiresTag when tag list required is undefined — PASSED
    • New: should not mark tags as required when policy.requiresTag is false and tag list required is undefined — PASSED
    • New: should mark tags as required when policy.requiresTag is true even if tag list required is false — PASSED
  • TypeScript typecheck (npm run typecheck-tsgo) — PASSED
  • ESLint — PASSED
  • Prettier — PASSED

When per-tag-list `required` field is undefined (e.g. after backend
sync overwrites tag data), the confirm details page now falls back
to `policy.requiresTag` instead of defaulting to false. This aligns
tag behavior with how categories already use `policy.requiresCategory`.

Fixed the failing typecheck: the two test objects in TagsOptionsListUtilsTest.ts that intentionally omit the required field now use as PolicyTagLists (type assertion) instead of : PolicyTagLists (type annotation), which allows TypeScript to accept the deliberately missing property.

Fixed the failing typecheck: the two test objects in TagsOptionsListUtilsTest.ts that intentionally omit required (to simulate backend sync stripping the field) needed as unknown as PolicyTagLists instead of as PolicyTagLists, since required is now a required property in the type.

Good catch! You're right — with ??, when a backend sync resets required to false (not just undefined), the policy-level requiresTag fallback is never consulted, so the "Required" label disappears.

Changed ?? to || so that policy.requiresTag is checked whenever the per-list required is falsy. Updated the test to match the corrected behavior. All 16 tests pass.

When backend syncs reset a tag list's required field to false (not just
undefined), the ?? operator prevents the policy-level requiresTag from
being consulted. Using || ensures policy.requiresTag is checked whenever
the per-list required is falsy, matching the intended behavior that the
global "Members must tag all expenses" toggle always takes effect.

P2 Badge Preserve per-tag-list optional state when policy requires tags

This line now treats every tag list as required whenever policy.requiresTag is true, because required || ... overrides an explicit required: false. Independent multi-level workspaces intentionally allow some lists to remain optional while the policy still requires at least one list (the guard in src/libs/OptionsListUtils/index.ts:1369-1377 only blocks making the last required list optional), so this regression makes optional lists show the “Required” label and required-field prioritization on confirm/split flows. The fallback should apply only when required is missing (null/undefined), not when it is explicitly false.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

The bot's concern is valid — the || change I pushed is wrong and should be reverted back to ??.

Why || is wrong: Independent multi-level workspaces allow admins to set individual tag lists as optional (required: false) while policy.requiresTag is true. The || operator makes ALL tag lists required whenever the global toggle is on, ignoring these per-list overrides.

Evidence:

  • WorkspaceViewTagsPage.tsx:373-398 — the per-tag-list "Required" toggle is visible for independent tags and calls setPolicyTagsRequired to set individual lists optional
  • OptionsListUtils/index.ts:1369-1380isMakingLastRequiredTagListOptional only prevents making the last required list optional, proving some-but-not-all optional is by design
  • ViolationsUtils.ts:163 — uses required ?? true (not ||), so the enforcement layer respects required: false. With ||, the UI would show "Required" but no violation fires — an inconsistency

The ?? operator was correct. It handles the original bug (backend sync strips required to undefined) while preserving explicit required: false overrides. If backend syncs are resetting required to false instead of undefined, that's a backend data issue to fix at the sync layer.

No help site changes are required for this PR.

This is a bug fix that restores the "Required" label on the confirm details page when backend syncs strip the per-tag-list required field. It doesn't introduce new features, change workflows, or modify any user-facing terminology.

The existing help docs (Require tags and categories for expenses, Create and manage expense tags) already correctly describe the "Members must tag all expenses" toggle and the required field behavior — which is exactly what this fix restores.
