Proposal

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

Reloading the private notes edit page and clicking on back icon shows not found page.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We have a typo here for reportID

App/src/pages/PrivateNotes/PrivateNotesEditPage.js

Line 134 in e968637

onBackButtonPress={() => Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.PRIVATE_NOTES_VIEW.getRoute(report.repotID, route.params.accountID))}

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

Fix the typo and change that to reportID

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal

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

When opening a specific private note and reloading, pressing back triggers a 404.

What is the root cause of that problem?

While on other similar routes a goBack url parameter is utilized to ensure that this specific issue doesn't happen in modals, in this one there is no goBack parameter.

When the Navigation.goBack function is triggered on the private notes edit page, it calls:
Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.PRIVATE_NOTES_VIEW.getRoute(report.reportID, route.params.accountID));

But because it is a modal, there is no report defined. Other modals use the goBack parameter for this very reason.

The private notes view routing:

    PRIVATE_NOTES_VIEW: {
        route: 'r/:reportID/notes/:accountID',
        getRoute: (reportID: string, accountID: string | number) => `r/${reportID}/notes/${accountID}`,
    },

The currency request edit view routing:

    EDIT_CURRENCY_REQUEST: {
        route: 'r/:threadReportID/edit/currency',
        getRoute: (threadReportID: string, currency: string, backTo: string) => `r/${threadReportID}/edit/currency?currency=${currency}&backTo=${backTo}`,
    },

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

Add a back to parameter in the private notes view routing. This would also entail passing the proper report ID to the backTo parameter when calling getRoute on the private notes view.
