Proposal

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

Edited currency changes back to previous currency

What is the root cause of that problem?

• PR - Allow Editing Distance Requests #26141, In this PR we added edit distance request feature

When we update the currency for distance money request,

App/src/pages/EditRequestPage.js

Lines 173 to 177 in 3e36d12

	// Temporarily disabling currency editing and it will be enabled as a quick follow up
	editMoneyRequest({
	amount,
	currency: defaultCurrency,
	});

We are passing default currency here.
But there is comment involving the current behaviour.

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

We shall pass the currency from transactionChanges.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[shubham1206agra]

This is a deploy blocker so I think you need to link offending PR too

[mountiny]

But there is comment involving the current behaviour.

The comment is obsolete and should be removed, I forgot to remove it. The currency normally works fine and we get the currency from the route as we return back to the edit request page with currency in the url param

App/src/pages/EditRequestPage.js

Line 92 in 64b5073

const defaultCurrency = lodashGet(route, 'params.currency', '') || transactionCurrency;

This is not a deploy blocker as its a new feature. I have also confirmed the UpdateDistanceRequest API endpoint does not accept currency key: https://github.com/Expensify/Web-Expensify/blob/7cfa639d6459a9b100c179be98d8215ec0d12bbb/api.php#L3022-L3034

@arosiclair @neil-marcellini @jasperhuangg @tgolen Is this expected? I think there is a bit more logic involved when changing the amount as we also need to update the per mile instructions so its possible this is intentional but we should probs handle this better in the App, could you please take care of this? Adding this to the wave 5 project with no status, up to you

[alexpensify]

Thanks for sharing these feeedback points @mountiny!

[tgolen]

I'm going to unassign everyone from this. There is a lot of cleanup happening for distance requests and this should be covered as part of them. Primarily, #28358 is going to be splitting out the mega EditDistanceRequest API into an API for each field so that it matches the UX and a true 1:1:1 pattern. We'll need to revisit how the currency change will work along with that.
