Proposal

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

Distance - After tapping split expense with amount button, briefly "split expense" button shown

What is the root cause of that problem?

We reset the draft transaction on creating the expense and we show the split expense button if the iouAmount is 0

App/src/components/MoneyRequestConfirmationList.tsx

Lines 414 to 415 in 8a83e2b

	} else if (isTypeSplit && iouAmount === 0) {
	text = translate('iou.splitExpense');

so as the draft transaction amount is not available (0) it will show 'split expense'

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

We can remove the draft transaction clearing code every where we are clearing it now like here

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

Lines 4134 to 4136 in 8a83e2b

	key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.TRANSACTION}${splitTransaction.transactionID}`,
	value: splitTransaction,
	},

here here here
Because we are already clearing the draft transaction in startMoneyRequest

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

Lines 392 to 393 in 8a83e2b

	function startMoneyRequest(iouType: ValueOf<typeof CONST.IOU.TYPE>, reportID: string, requestType?: IOURequestType, skipConfirmation = false) {
	clearMoneyRequest(CONST.IOU.OPTIMISTIC_TRANSACTION_ID, skipConfirmation);

We can apply the change for our split case related to the current issue but I think it is better to apply it globally.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Alternatively we can use TransactionEdit.removeDraftTransaction with runAfterInteraction here

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepConfirmation.tsx

Line 377 in 8a83e2b

formHasBeenSubmitted.current = true;

            InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions(() => removeDraftTransaction(CONST.IOU.OPTIMISTIC_TRANSACTION_ID));

If we feel unsafe clearing the draft transaction before the create request actions have been called ( as we need the draft transaction value inside the functions) we can call it after the createTransaction function calls

@FitseTLT @IuliiaHerets a few questions:

Version Number: 5.0.49-0

Do you mean 59-0 @IuliiaHerets?

Open a room chat with few members invited

Does this mean more than 1 other person? Is there a minimum number?

[IuliiaHerets]

@jliexpensify Yes, you are right, build - v9.0.59-0.
The number of members is not important, the main thing is that it is possible to create a split request.
