This issue is not a bug, it's our new expectation since this PR #28573 (comment). Creating a workspace from OD does not open the #admins room in ND. Perhaps, we need to update our test trail

Proposal

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

• Web - Admin room - User doesn't land in admin's room of a policy when navigating from oldDot to newD

What is the root cause of that problem?

• When we go to ND from OD, it will call:
  

  App/src/libs/Navigation/AppNavigator/AuthScreens.tsx

  Line 184 in 5c5c862

  App.setUpPoliciesAndNavigate(session);

• And we do not have logic that navigates user to admin report when navigating from oldDot to newDot
  

  App/src/libs/actions/App.ts

  Lines 345 to 354 in 5c5c862

  	Navigation.isNavigationReady()
  	.then(() => {
  	if (transitionFromOldDot) {
  	// We must call goBack() to remove the /transition route from history
  	Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.HOME);
  	}
  	Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_INITIAL.getRoute(policyID));
  	})
  	.then(endSignOnTransition);
  	}

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

• We should add an additional param, named shouldNavigateToAdminChat, and update the above function to:

function createWorkspaceWithPolicyDraftAndNavigateToIt(policyOwnerEmail = '', policyName = '', transitionFromOldDot = false, makeMeAdmin = false, shouldNavigateToAdminChat) {
    const policyID = Policy.generatePolicyID();
    Policy.createDraftInitialWorkspace(policyOwnerEmail, policyName, policyID, makeMeAdmin);
+  const adminsChatReportID = Policy.createWorkspace(policyOwnerEmail, makeMeAdmin, policyName, policyID);
    Navigation.isNavigationReady()
        .then(() => {
            if (transitionFromOldDot) {
                // We must call goBack() to remove the /transition route from history
                Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.HOME);
            }
+            if (shouldNavigateToAdminChat) {
+                Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.REPORT_WITH_ID.getRoute(adminsChatReportID));
+           }
            Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_INITIAL.getRoute(policyID));
        })
        .then(endSignOnTransition);
}
