Proposal

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

Split preview shows 0 instead of "Your split $0.00" when split amount is 0.00

What is the root cause of that problem?

splitShare will be 0 so instead of rendering next component react will render 0.

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestPreview/MoneyRequestPreviewContent.tsx

Line 316 in 9cad715

{splitShare && (

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

We should use a boolean value here. For example we can use isBillSplit or !!splitShare

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestPreview/MoneyRequestPreviewContent.tsx

Line 316 in 9cad715

{splitShare && (

The descriptiveText = ' ' that's why in split details we can't see amount. If we want to show $0 then we should also set descriptiveText

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

@youssef-lr Another one related to Splits. Off the top of my head it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be able to "split $0" and have it say:

"You split $0.00"

So, curious if we got these steps right. Either way, new feature not a deploy blocker IMO.
