Proposal

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

App crash on updating the request details

What is the root cause of that problem?

Seems the issue after this PR where we used modifiedCurrency for cachedTotal, modifiedCurrency won't be available when we aren't updating the currency. That leads to the error by passing an empty string to the convertToDisplayString function.

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

We need to update it to consider currency as a fallback value when modifiedCurrency isn't available here.

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

Line 1143 in 0f372c2

updatedMoneyRequestReport.cachedTotal = CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(updatedMoneyRequestReport.total, updatedTransaction?.modifiedCurrency);

According to @cead22, it should be fixed by #36821

[Pujan92]

Thanks @paultsimura , just replied in slack

[mountiny]

@Pujan92 Can you raise a PR

I think we should do this:

We need to update it to consider currency as a fallback value when modifiedCurrency isn't available here.

The modifiedCurrency will only be defined if the user changed the currency, which is not always. We need to default to currency

[Pujan92]

Yes @mountiny

[mountiny]

Yeah I can handle the PR review on this one thank you @rushatgabhane

[mountiny]

Asking for a cp

[melvin-bot]

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @cead22, @johncschuster, @Pujan92, @mountiny eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

[tylerkaraszewski]

This fix was CP'ed weeks ago, can this issue be closed?

[mountiny]

I think we need to pay @Pujan92 right?

[melvin-bot]

@cead22, @johncschuster, @Pujan92, @mountiny Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[johncschuster]

Issuing payment now!
