Proposal

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

IOU - Unable to change currency in transaction thread

What is the root cause of that problem?

It is regression from this PR.
When we update currency we set it in draft transaction here. But here in amount screen we get it from backup transaction

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

1. Update TRANSACTION_BACKUP to TRANSACTION_DRAFT . Also change the backupTransaction prop name to draftTransaction

2. Use draftTransaction instead backupTransaction

3. Do obe of below options
   Option 1 Update draft transaction based original transaction before going to transaction tread
   Option 2 Update this condition like below .

const {currency: originalCurrency} = ReportUtils.getTransactionDetails(isEditing && !draftTransaction ? transaction : draftTransaction ) ?? {currency: CONST.CURRENCY.USD};

Option 3 Here currency is expected in route params but we never send it because there is not ability to send it in routes. Add ability to receive currency and send it from here.

getRoute: (action: IOUAction, iouType: IOUType, transactionID: string, reportID: string, currency = '', backTo = '') =>
    getUrlWithBackToParam(`${action as string}/${iouType as string}/amount/${transactionID}/${reportID}?currency=${currency}`, backTo),

The purpose of step 3 is a fixing #40543

What alternative solutions did you explore?

@mallenexpensify I have accepted

[mallenexpensify]

Everyone paid, payment comment updated above. Do we neee a TestRail GH here? Looked above but wasn't sure cuz it looks like this was a regression, so the TR for the other issue should have have a TR to cover this, right?

[mallenexpensify]

Since this came from a regression I don't think we need a new TestCase, comment/reopen if you disagree.
