Expected Result:

The confirm task screen should be scrollable even when there's a very long description (ie: to scroll down to the Assignee and Share somewhere settings, and Confirm task button)

Actual Result:

The confirm task screen is not scrollable when there's a very long description, and as a result you can't scroll down to the Assignee and Share somewhere settings, and Confirm task button (so you can't save the task)

Proposal

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

• mWeb - confirm task screen not scrollable when description has multiple line

What is the root cause of that problem?

• The root cause is we are not using scroll view on NewTaskPage.js that makes contact on static view or even we are not limiting the number of lines to display text description that causes overflow and makes content static

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

Solution 1

• On NewTaskPage.js we should wrap that page on <Scrollview> so that it can easily be scrollable

Result With added Scrollview

scroll.mov

Solution 2

• Also we can define a fixed line for the description currently it's not defined we can limit to display on that page

• We need to define new props to <MenuItem> that allows to add numberOfLine of title and after that, we just pass titleNumberOfLine={5} that we are using max number of line on the description text input

Result With added Fixed number of line

Reproduced on iOS Safari, and added some sample text to the OP (behind a <details>) for testing

Proposal

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

The confirm task screen is not scrollable so if the description of the task is very long we can't see part of the screen

What is the root cause of that problem?

As @dhairyasenjaliya said here , we don't currently have a scrollview for that screen

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

I believe if the description is very long it can be confusing for the user if we have a scrollview for the whole screen because he will not understand what that screen is for, I believe it would be a better UX if we only put the scrollView around the description field, that way the user will always see the button "Confirm task" at the bottom. Also that way the user doesn't have to scroll a long time to click that button.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We could also put the whole screen scrollable but scroll until the bottom automatically which also resolve the problems that I mentionned

Reminder: Please use plain English, be brief and avoid jargon. Feel free to use images, charts or pseudo-code if necessary. Do not post large multi-line diffs or write walls of text. Do not create PRs unless you have been hired for this job.

[allroundexperts]

Thanks for your proposal @ShogunFire. I agree that for better UX, we should keep the Confirm button at a fixed position. However, I feel like your proposal is just adding onto what @dhairyasenjaliya suggested earlier in his proposal.

@dhairyasenjaliya let's go with your solution 1 as described here. For consistency, its better to keep the submit button static like we're doing elsewhere. Eg:
https://github.com/Expensify/App/assets/30054992/858cc4b9-8a3e-4e89-a5ed-dcc0852a2f4c

[ShogunFire]

@allroundexperts The solution was not very hard to find so I thought adding a little bit to the initial proposal would do it but I respect your decision.

[dhairyasenjaliya]

alright let's do solution - 1, generating PR soon once I get assigned thank you @allroundexperts

@ShogunFire I was well aware of that situation but that button thing I need to confirm from the team since we have both the approach on the app e.g: We are adding a static button on invite flow but if you try to add a manual account you will find that similar button is at very bottom that is dynamically added to the bottom according to the content of screen either of both decision I just need to adjust <Scrollview> based on the team confirmation that doesn't change my proposal in any terms :)

Sent contracts for everyone, via Upwork

[allroundexperts]

I'll be getting paid via the App @conorpendergrast. Can you please withdraw the offer from Upwork?

[dhairyasenjaliya]

hey @conorpendergrast just want to confirm if this is eligible for an urgency bonus or not, since I have created PR and reviewed it by @allroundexperts within 3 days but after that, we just changed the scope of the issue and that was also done on time after that we were just waiting for merged by engineer

[conorpendergrast]

@dhairyasenjaliya I'll discuss that request internally, then come back here

Paid @gadhiyamanan, in the meantime

[gadhiyamanan]

@conorpendergrast can you please close the upwork contact
Thanks!

[conorpendergrast]

@gadhiyamanan Done, sorry I missed that and thanks for the reminder.

@dhairyasenjaliya @allroundexperts After discussion, @cead22 and I agree with your request and will make an exception, to add the 50% urgency bonus here.

@dhairyasenjaliya I've paid you, plus the 50% urgency bonus, via Upwork.

@allroundexperts Please include the 50% urgency bonus in your New Expensify request!

[conorpendergrast]

Finally steps are for @allroundexperts to complete the checklist, and then to get paid.

[allroundexperts]

@conorpendergrast I think the checklist is not needed here. We did not consider how a very long description would show up on the confirm task screen when creating the tasks feature. In fact, the expected behaviour was not even clear when this issue was created and we decided it here after some discussion.

[conorpendergrast]

That works, closing this out! (I clarified the process is to close out even before the C+, NewDot payment)
