Proposal

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

Duplicate system message("resolved the duplicate") when resolving duplicates selecting "Keep all"

What is the root cause of that problem?

In src/libs/actions/Transaction.ts file, dismissDuplicateTransactionViolation() function keeps adding same reporting actions whenever user review and select "keep all" a new submitted duplicate expense. This is because we are using${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT_ACTIONS}${action?.childReportID ?? '-1'} as the key, so same action get added everytime.

  const optimisticReportActions: OnyxUpdate[] = transactionsReportActions.map((action, index) => ({
      onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
      key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT_ACTIONS}${action?.childReportID ?? '-1'}`,
      value: {
          [optimisticDissmidedViolationReportActions.at(index)?.reportActionID ?? '']: optimisticDissmidedViolationReportActions.at(index) as ReportAction,
      },
  }));

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

Append the violation type to the key, so the same violation wont be added twice.

const optimisticReportActions: OnyxUpdate[] = transactionsReportActions.map((action, index) => ({
    onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
    key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT_ACTIONS}${action?.childReportID ?? '-1'}_${CONST.VIOLATIONS.DUPLICATED_TRANSACTION}`,
    value: {
        [optimisticDissmidedViolationReportActions.at(index)?.reportActionID ?? '']: optimisticDissmidedViolationReportActions.at(index) as ReportAction,
    },
}));
....
const failureReportActions: OnyxUpdate[] = transactionsReportActions.map((action, index) => ({
    onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
    key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT_ACTIONS}${action?.childReportID ?? '-1'}_${CONST.VIOLATIONS.DUPLICATED_TRANSACTION}`,
    value: {
        [optimisticDissmidedViolationReportActions.at(index)?.reportActionID ?? '']: null,
    },
}));
...
const successData: OnyxUpdate[] = transactionsReportActions.map((action, index) => ({
    onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
    key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT_ACTIONS}${action?.childReportID ?? '-1'}_${CONST.VIOLATIONS.DUPLICATED_TRANSACTION}`,
    value: {
        [optimisticDissmidedViolationReportActions.at(index)?.reportActionID ?? '']: {
            pendingAction: null,
        },
    },
}));

...

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

1. Add a attribute the report action type, so that we can use a dynamic value as the key. This will impact many places, as report action is used by many other components. regression may happen.
2. Filter the action at view level (ReportActionItem component). This component has many business logic, filtering may also cause regression.
