@lanitochka17 is this supposed to be blocker?

[thienlnam]

Oh whoops, didn't catch that - yeah it would not be a blocker in that case

Proposal

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

The prompt is not displayed, neither when creating 30 reports nor when logging in to an account that has 30 reports

What is the root cause of that problem?

• When user create more than 30 reports and if they have not tried focus mode yet, BE does not return the nvp_tryFocusMode, so hasTriedFocusMode is undefined:

App/src/libs/actions/PriorityMode.ts

Line 64 in 69483ff

hasTriedFocusMode = val;

hence the condition:

App/src/libs/actions/PriorityMode.ts

Line 80 in 69483ff

if (ReportConnection.getAllReports() === undefined || hasTriedFocusMode === undefined || isInFocusMode === undefined || isLoadingReportData) {

is always true since hasTriedFocusMode is always false.

• As a result, there is no focus promp is triggered.

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

• I think BE should return exactly value true or false for the nvp_tryFocusMode.
• Then in:

App/src/libs/actions/PriorityMode.ts

Line 80 in 69483ff

if (ReportConnection.getAllReports() === undefined || hasTriedFocusMode === undefined || isInFocusMode === undefined || isLoadingReportData) {

we just need to update the condition:

hasTriedFocusMode === undefined

to:

!isBoolean(hasTriedFocusMode)

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

I don't think we need frontend fix here. Returning the NVP always should fix the issue
