After you upgrade a room to become a private space, you need to reopen settings in the new room

[novocaine]

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to room settings -> Security and Privacy
2. Change access to Space members and confirm the dialog

What happened?

The room seems to upgrade in the background, the dialog closes, then .. nothing happens. You're just dropped back to this

If you close settings then open them for the upgraded room, the radio button still isn't selected, but the upgrade prompt is gone:

Then if you then click the radio button you can select which spaces can access the room, confirm, and the radio button selects as you'd expect.

What did you expect?

I shouldn't have to reopen settings to set up the room's space members config.

@niquewoodhouse can you suggest what the flow should be instead please?

Some suggested iterations to improve the flow.

Be redirected in the background to the new room with the same settings screen open.

In terms of this exact flow, this would be probably the most helpful change for a user. We can possibly safely assume their intention is to mark this room as Space members, as this upgrade button is closely associated with that option.

Example (I'm sure it wouldn't work exactly like this, just trying to illustrate the idea)

I did quickly consider some alternatives (listed below) but dismissed them for a few reasons.

---

When a room is upgraded, show in the content a link to the new room and the new room's settings.

Could be easily missed. Unclear how to decide the rules for when/where it shows. Would require a lot of interaction and effort from the user.

When you upgrade the room, have a confirmation screen that lets users be directed to the new room's settings screen.

Increases the number of interactions for the user, there's a chance people wouldn't go to the settings of the room, unless you made that the primary CTA.
