Local Account: Form fields unresponsive and assignee list blank when creating a task with only a Local Account(with no instance account connected) #281

Description

Description:
When a user has only a single "Local Account" configured(Make sure no instance account is connected) and attempts to create a new task from the "All Tasks" view, the task creation form fails to initialize correctly. The Account dropdown becomes unresponsive, the hierarchical dropdowns (Project, Subproject, Parent Task) are empty, and the Assignees selection modal renders a completely blank box.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Ensure the application is configured with exactly one account, which is a Local Account.
2.Navigate to the All Tasks screen.
3.Click the add icon to create a new task.
4.Attempt to tap the Account dropdown (observe it is unclickable).
5.Tap the Project, Subproject, or Parent Task dropdowns (observe they are empty/only show a blank "Select" row).
6.Click the Select Assignees button and observe the resulting popup modal.

Actual Behavior:
Account Dropdown: Displays "Tap to select" but is entirely unclickable/disabled.
Project/Subproject/Parent Task Dropdowns: The menus open but contain no selectable data, showing only an empty "Select" row
Assignees Modal: Opens a popup titled "Select Assignees", but the content area is completely blank with no users to select

Expected Behavior:
Account Field: Since the Local Account is the only configured account, it should ideally auto-populate. At a minimum, the dropdown must be clickable to allow the user to manually select the Local Account.

Dependent Dropdowns: Once the account is selected/auto-populated, the Project, Subproject, and Parent Task lists should fetch and display the relevant local data.

Assignees Modal: The modal should display a list of local users. If no users/assignees exist yet, it should display a user-friendly message (e.g., "No assignees available") rather than a broken blank box.
