Proposal

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

Upon saving GL and payroll code, we are directed to category list instead of specific category page

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are using dismissModal()

App/src/pages/workspace/categories/CategoryGLCodePage.tsx

Lines 35 to 44 in 29fb6bb

	const editGLCode = useCallback(
	(values: FormOnyxValues<typeof ONYXKEYS.FORMS.WORKSPACE_CATEGORY_FORM>) => {
	const newGLCode = values.glCode.trim();
	if (newGLCode !== glCode) {
	Category.setPolicyCategoryGLCode(route.params.policyID, categoryName, newGLCode);
	}
	Navigation.dismissModal();
	},
	[categoryName, glCode, route.params.policyID],
	);

App/src/pages/workspace/categories/CategoryPayrollCodePage.tsx

Lines 35 to 44 in 29fb6bb

	const editPayrollCode = useCallback(
	(values: FormOnyxValues<typeof ONYXKEYS.FORMS.WORKSPACE_CATEGORY_FORM>) => {
	const newPayrollCode = values.payrollCode.trim();
	if (newPayrollCode !== payrollCode) {
	Category.setPolicyCategoryPayrollCode(route.params.policyID, categoryName, newPayrollCode);
	}
	Navigation.dismissModal();
	},
	[categoryName, payrollCode, route.params.policyID],
	);

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

We should use goBack() with appropriate fallback route.

With using fallback route to particular category, even when user refreshes it will redirect to correct page.

Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_CATEGORY_SETTINGS.getRoute(policyId, categoryName));

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[BhuvaneshPatil]

@allroundexperts In PR it was converted from goBack() to dismissModal(). We can consider for upgrade pages but places pages where we change values. I am not getting that. Can you please explain. Thanks

[allroundexperts]

@BhuvaneshPatil I think it will be safe to change it on the pages where we change values. We can give it a try.

[allroundexperts]

Btw this is really an minor issue when compared with the host of issues that #46617 solves. I think we can demote this to be not a blocker.

[youssef-lr]

@allroundexperts would you like to submit a quick fix?

[allroundexperts]

Sure, please assign this to me and I will raise a PR tomorrow.
