Proposal

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

"Recent" and "All" appear in report field selection list when there is no result

What is the root cause of that problem?

We have a condition to always show the recents regardless of the list being empty

App/src/pages/EditReportFieldDropdownPage.tsx

Line 54 in 34330e2

shouldShow: true,

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

Update the function to only show the recents if the list is not empty

shouldShow: !_.isEmpty(recentlyUsedOptions)

We already do that at other places

App/src/pages/iou/steps/MoneyRequstParticipantsPage/MoneyRequestParticipantsSelector.js

Line 166 in 34330e2

shouldShow: !_.isEmpty(newChatOptions.recentReports),

Same approach will be followed for All list

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal

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

Recent and All text is visible when there is no data for the respective sections.

What is the root cause of that problem?

we are using the EditReportFieldDropdownPage component to display the edit report field page here,

App/src/pages/EditReportFieldPage.tsx

Lines 104 to 116 in 92e46ff

	if (reportField.type === 'dropdown') {
	return (
	<EditReportFieldDropdownPage
	policyID={report.policyID ?? ''}
	fieldID={reportField.fieldID}
	fieldName={Str.UCFirst(reportField.name)}
	fieldValue={fieldValue}
	fieldOptions={reportField.values}
	onSubmit={handleReportFieldChange}
	/>
	);
	}
	}

beneat the EditReportFieldPage we are showing the Recents and All section here,

App/src/pages/EditReportFieldDropdownPage.tsx

Lines 51 to 72 in 92e46ff

	return [
	{
	title: translate('common.recents'),
	shouldShow: true,
	data: filteredRecentOptions.map((option) => ({
	text: option,
	keyForList: option,
	searchText: option,
	tooltipText: option,
	})),
	},
	{
	title: translate('common.all'),
	shouldShow: true,
	data: filteredRestOfOptions.map((option) => ({
	text: option,
	keyForList: option,
	searchText: option,
	tooltipText: option,
	})),
	},
	];

above we can see the shouldShow is hard coded true, show it doesnt matter the length of the all or recent data we always show the All and Recent text, thats the cause of the issue

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

We have to add the check here for the respective option

1. For the Recents we have to check of the filteredRecentOptions's length greater than 0 then shoudShow will be true or false
   

   App/src/pages/EditReportFieldDropdownPage.tsx

   Lines 53 to 54 in 92e46ff

   	title: translate('common.recents'),
   	shouldShow: true,

shouldShow: filteredRecentOptions.length > 0,

2. For the All we have to check of the filteredRestOfOptions's length greater than 0 then shoudShow will be true or false

App/src/pages/EditReportFieldDropdownPage.tsx

Lines 63 to 64 in 92e46ff

	title: translate('common.all'),
	shouldShow: true,

shouldShow: filteredRestOfOptions.length > 0,

Result

recent-and-all-text-hide-on-empty.mov

[aeioual]

Just making my proposal noticeable as i posted it before the help wanted tag 😅😁

[NikkiWines]

@allroundexperts can you give the proposals here a review? 🙇

[allroundexperts]

@Amarparab2024's proposal looks good to me. @jayeshmangwani your proposal seems to be a duplicate.

🎀 👀 🎀 C+ reviewed

[melvin-bot]

Current assignee @NikkiWines is eligible for the choreEngineerContributorManagement assigner, not assigning anyone new.

[jayeshmangwani]

@allroundexperts Sorry, can you which part do you think is duplicate ?
selected proposal does not have the include the condition for the all contacts part.

[jayeshmangwani]

Hi @Amarparab2024 , Yes I know the rule, but can you check your root cause where you have include only the part of the recent option, you didn't mentioned the "All" contacts part, and it should be included, it is in the description.

We have a condition to always show the recents regardless of the list being empty

[allroundexperts]

I think this was a fairly simple to fix bug and the first proposal is conveying the RCA correctly as well. Elaborating it further doesn't seem to make your proposal any better. I would still go with the first proposal, but lets wait on the assigned internal engineer 😄

[aeioual]

Thanks you so much @allroundexperts :)

[NikkiWines]

Yeah, agreed with @allroundexperts here. For such a simple bug, @Amarparab2024's proposal is totally sufficient. @jayeshmangwani, your proposal is also good, but in this scenario, there's not significant enough of a difference between the proposals to warrant choosing the later one.
