Proposal

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

Offline added avatar is not grayed out

What is the root cause of that problem?

Right now we don't set pendingFields for group avatars that's why The pendingAction is null here:

App/src/components/AvatarWithImagePicker.tsx

Line 301 in 9b839f4

pendingAction={pendingAction}

We are not setting pendingFields in updateGroupChatAvatar

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

We can set pendingFields in optimistic data here:

const optimisticData: OnyxUpdate[] = [
    {
        onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
        key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${reportID}`,
        value: {
            avatarUrl: file?.uri ?? '',
+            pendingFields: {
+               avatar: CONST.RED_BRICK_ROAD_PENDING_ACTION.UPDATE,
+           },
        },
    },
];

Finally we will pass pendingActions below to be used in OfflineWithFeedback:

App/src/pages/ReportDetailsPage.tsx

Lines 231 to 247 in 9b839f4

	<AvatarWithImagePicker
	source={icons[0].source}
	isUsingDefaultAvatar={!report.avatarUrl}
	size={CONST.AVATAR_SIZE.XLARGE}
	avatarStyle={styles.avatarXLarge}
	shouldDisableViewPhoto
	onImageRemoved={() => {
	// Calling this without a file will remove the avatar
	Report.updateGroupChatAvatar(report.reportID ?? '');
	}}
	onImageSelected={(file) => Report.updateGroupChatAvatar(report.reportID ?? '', file)}
	editIcon={Expensicons.Camera}
	editIconStyle={styles.smallEditIconAccount}
	/>
	) : (
	<RoomHeaderAvatars
	icons={icons}

pendingAction={report?.pendingFields?.avatar ?? undefined}
