[HOLD for payment 2024-04-15] Improve the UI when you click into an expense from a one-expense chat #38655
Description
Coming from this Slack discussion:
Slack room: #vip-split
Problem
Currently, the expense shows the same level of detail in the main chat as it does when you click into it. This feels confusing, to offer users the option to click into something (where presumably they're looking for more detail), but then only show the same level of detail that they've already seen. There are also currently two levels of clicking into an expense that you can do, but both show the same level of detail.
Here's the current flow:
Why is this important?
It's not polished, it feels like unexpected behavior for an app to show you the same thing twice.
Solution
Summary:
For single-expense reports, we:
- Combine the report and expense view into one mashup view with report actions in the header and expense details in the body
- Comments on ☝️ that view are attached to the specific expense to keep things sensible if in the rare occasion this report transitions to a multi-expense report
- See Shawn's screenshots here for the mocks
