This PR #28793 specifically makes it scrolled to the bottom, seems like NAB

[trjExpensify]

I'm a bit confused by the bug report @MonilBhavsar, so asking about it here. I thought this was something we'd implement via comment linking.

[roryabraham]

HOLD for comment linking: #30269

[melvin-bot]

Current assignee @trjExpensify is eligible for the NewFeature assigner, not assigning anyone new.

[trjExpensify]

No change, still on hold Melv!

[trjExpensify]

Samesies, Melv!

[ishpaul777]
