Proposal

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

IOU text message "Firstname paid elsewhere" does not match the copied text.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The copy action of the message Firstname paid elsewhere does not use the same logic as the preview.

In the preview we are getting only the short form of the payer name by passing true as second argument to getDisplayNameForParticipant

const payerName = isExpenseReport(report) ? getPolicyName(report) : getDisplayNameForParticipant(report.managerID, true);

In the copy to clipboard action, we are using almost the same logic but without the true flag

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.js

Line 3654 in 52f0e3c

const payerName = isExpenseReport(iouReport) ? getPolicyName(iouReport) : getDisplayNameForParticipant(iouReport.managerID);

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

getIOUReportActionDisplayMessage responsible to generate the text to copy, is only called in a single place, we can just update the function call to include the short form flag.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[hoangzinh]

I think it's not a real deploy blocker. It's just a small inconsistency issue, users can still copy the IOU message (with a full display name).

If we can decrease the priority of this issue, I think we can have time to fix another potential inconsistency issue between displaying the IOU message and copying the IOU message.

• Displaying IOU message, we're using ReportUtils.getReportPreviewMessage util

  App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionItemMessage.js

  Lines 41 to 48 in 52f0e3c

  	const isIOUReport = ReportActionsUtils.isMoneyRequestAction(props.action);
  	let iouMessage;
  	if (isIOUReport) {
  	const iouReportID = lodashGet(props.action, 'originalMessage.IOUReportID');
  	if (iouReportID) {
  	iouMessage = ReportUtils.getReportPreviewMessage(ReportUtils.getReport(iouReportID), props.action);
  	}
  	}

• Copying IOU message, we're using ReportUtils.getIOUReportActionDisplayMessage util

  App/src/pages/home/report/ContextMenu/ContextMenuActions.js

  Lines 202 to 203 in 52f0e3c

  	} else if (ReportActionsUtils.isMoneyRequestAction(reportAction)) {
  	const displayMessage = ReportUtils.getIOUReportActionDisplayMessage(reportAction);

• LHN

  App/src/libs/OptionsListUtils.js

  Lines 392 to 393 in 52f0e3c

  	} else if (ReportActionUtils.isMoneyRequestAction(lastReportAction)) {
  	lastMessageTextFromReport = ReportUtils.getReportPreviewMessage(report, lastReportAction, true);

I can take this one over as I have been assigned to the original PR

I agree this is not a blocker, its a new feature and minor issue.

I think we should use the same methods for when we want the exact same message to be copied @rayane-djouah this is it feels like incompleteness from our PR, can you work on this as a follow up so the copied text exactly copies what the system message says?

[rayane-djouah]

I will raise a PR for this today.

To confirm, this would be a continuation of the previous upwork job as we should make sure to get this right
