Twilio Conversation LastReadMessageIndex Always null when you get connect with client first time

Question

I am using twilio conversation api for chat application. I have enabled read horizon from settings. I am marking message read index and also getting unread count. But when I refresh the page lastMessageRead index is always null. I have added screenshot for update and null. I don't is it a bug in SDK of what. I am adding screenshot of service setting as well. Need help what I am doing wrong.

How are you loading those conversations onto the page to get that attribute. — philnash, Aug 17 '21 at 07:09
const Conversations = require('@twilio/conversations'); // getting token from server const client = await Conversations.Client.create(res.token); client.on('conversationJoined', throttle((conversation) => {})); — Ghazanfar Khan, Aug 17 '21 at 11:24
every time I reconnect the client one of the participant has updated read index but conversation overall is null, but when I update it , it becomes available. — Ghazanfar Khan, Aug 17 '21 at 11:25
Sorry for the delay here, the team was checking in on this. We think this is a bug and are raising a ticket internally to work out what is going on. — philnash, Aug 23 '21 at 22:59
Can you confirm which version of twilio-conversations you are using? — philnash, Aug 24 '21 at 07:18
I have raised this as an issue internally, but just to make sure, can you update the SDK to the latest [version 1.2.3](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@twilio/conversations/v/1.2.3) and let me know if it is still happening? — philnash, Aug 25 '21 at 03:24
Ok, for a workaround we moved to setAllMessageRead() function instead of index based marking. — Ghazanfar Khan, Aug 25 '21 at 14:00
@GhazanfarKhan did it fix the index becoming null after you restart client? The two seem to be unrelated. — berkus, Sep 07 '21 at 16:36
Yes seems like its fixed I have index when I restart client. — Ghazanfar Khan, Sep 07 '21 at 17:04
@GhazanfarKhan This is very suspicious, I don't see how setting the index differently could've affected the property on the other side. Could you share your (relevant) code somewhere? — berkus, Sep 07 '21 at 17:07
I updated the library as you told then that fixed the issue. — Ghazanfar Khan, Sep 07 '21 at 18:25

If you get a conversationJoined event, this means you have left it before?

If you leave the conversation at some point, the read horizon will be cleared.

No I'm not leaving it, I am just setting up client again. – Ghazanfar Khan Sep 02 '21 at 13:37
