Proposal

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

In online split bill, merchant "split bill with (participants)id" turned to "request"

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are adding the merchant for split bill in optimistic data without using iou.merchant

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.js

Line 951 in e0f849f

`${Localize.translateLocal('iou.splitBill')} ${Localize.translateLocal('common.with')} ${formattedParticipants} [${DateUtils.getDBTime().slice(0, 10)}]`,

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

We should use iou.merchant while creating the transaction for split bill

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.js

Line 951 in e0f849f

`${Localize.translateLocal('iou.splitBill')} ${Localize.translateLocal('common.with')} ${formattedParticipants} [${DateUtils.getDBTime().slice(0, 10)}]`,

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
