Proposal

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

Invalid group chat name error still persists after clearing group name text

What is the root cause of that problem?

We don't clear the error fields when setting new name optimistically here:

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 572 to 579 in 09ad468

	function updateGroupChatName(reportID: string, reportName: string) {
	const optimisticData: OnyxUpdate[] = [
	{
	onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
	key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${reportID}`,
	value: {reportName},
	},
	];

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

We should clear errorFields for reportName when setting it in optimisticData

errorFields: {
    reportName: null,
},

We do the same when updating room names here:

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 2030 to 2032 in 09ad468

	errorFields: {
	reportName: null,
	},

@MelvinBot
To solve this issue, you should clear the error field for the report name when setting it optimistically. Ensures that any previous error state related to the report name is cleared when a new name is set optimistically.

In the function updateGroupChatName:

const optimisticData: OnyxUpdate[] = [
    {
        onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
        key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${reportID}`,
        value: { reportName },
        errorFields: {
            reportName: null,
        },
    },
];

when updating room names:

errorFields: {
    reportName: null,
},

[dukenv0307]

Let's go with @neonbhai's solution. I think we should call updateGroupChatName when the name is actually changed.

@dukenv0307 Ofcourse

[saifelance]

@dukenv0307 @neonbhai Ensure that any previous error state is reset when setting a new name optimistically.
