we

--feedback--

This is the subject of the sentence, indicating who is being asked about the action.


fixed

--feedback--

This is the past participle of the verb fix.

--explanation--

The Present Perfect tense is often used to ask about experiences or actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past.

When forming questions in this tense, use Have or Has (auxiliary verb) + subject + past participle (main verb). For example:

  • Have you ever been to the HR? - Asking if someone has visited the HR at any time in the past.

  • Has it finished loading the update? - Asking if the process of loading the update was completed at some point in the past.

James is using this structure to ask if a similar issue has been resolved in the past.
