Proposal

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

Display and Legal name fields are not autofocused when navigated to

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are not autofocused text input here

App/src/pages/settings/Profile/DisplayNamePage.tsx

Lines 92 to 102 in 7a42c6a

	<InputWrapper
	InputComponent={TextInput}
	inputID={INPUT_IDS.FIRST_NAME}
	name="fname"
	label={translate('common.firstName')}
	aria-label={translate('common.firstName')}
	role={CONST.ROLE.PRESENTATION}
	defaultValue={currentUserDetails.firstName ?? ''}
	spellCheck={false}
	autoCapitalize="words"
	/>

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

To fix this issue we need to pass autoFocus here

<InputWrapper
                            InputComponent={TextInput}
                            inputID={INPUT_IDS.FIRST_NAME}
                            name="fname"
                            label={translate('common.firstName')}
                            aria-label={translate('common.firstName')}
                            role={CONST.ROLE.PRESENTATION}
                            defaultValue={currentUserDetails.firstName ?? ''}
                            spellCheck={false}
                            autoCapitalize="words"
                            autoFocus
                        />

We haven't passed autofocus here

Same applied for legal name here

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

NA UI BUG

This is expected, we will not focus when there are 2 or more inputs

Proposal

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

• Fields in the display and legal name are not focused

What is the root cause of that problem?

• We don't apply auto focus logic applied in DisplayNamePage and LegalNamePage.

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

• We should add const {inputCallbackRef} = useAutoFocusInput(); to these page.
• Then use it in:
  

  App/src/pages/settings/Profile/DisplayNamePage.tsx

  Line 92 in 7a42c6a

  <InputWrapper

  
  

  App/src/pages/settings/Profile/PersonalDetails/LegalNamePage.tsx

  Line 103 in 7a42c6a

  <InputWrapper

  
  as
  ref={inputCallbackRef} .

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

@strepanier03 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

Going to close this out as expected behavior and per confirmation from @daledah as well:

This is expected, we will not focus when there are 2 or more inputs

[truph01]

@strepanier03 Could you help check again? In other flows where there are more than 2 inputs, the first one is always auto-focused.

For example, in http://staging.new.expensify.com/new/task/details
