Explanation of Change

The context menu "Hold" action was calling changeMoneyRequestHoldStatus() directly without checking NVP_DISMISSED_HOLD_USE_EXPLANATION, so the first-time educational modal was never shown when holding an expense via right-click context menu.

This adds the same NVP gating logic used in MoneyRequestHeaderSecondaryActions and MoneyReportHeader to the context menu Hold action. A holdWithEducation callback is added to BaseReportActionContextMenu that checks whether the user has already dismissed the educational modal, and if not, shows the appropriate modal (submitter or approver variant) before proceeding with the hold.

Human Tests

// Please describe what tests you performed that validates your changed worked.

Offline tests

QA Steps

// TODO: These must be filled out, or the issue title must include "[No QA]."

  1. Open any workspace chat and create a manual expense
  2. Right-click on the expense preview and select "Hold" from context menu
  3. Verify that an educational modal is displayed before the hold reason screen
  4. Dismiss the modal and complete the hold flow
  5. Remove the hold and hold again via context menu
  6. Verify the educational modal does NOT appear the second time (NVP persisted)
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).

    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native

  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.

    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.

  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

The context menu Hold action was calling changeMoneyRequestHoldStatus
directly without checking NVP_DISMISSED_HOLD_USE_EXPLANATION, skipping
the first-time educational modal. This adds the same NVP gating logic
used in MoneyRequestHeaderSecondaryActions and MoneyReportHeader.

@MelvinBot I don't think this is optimal as it will create way too many Modal components for each report action rendered. Find another approach. Should we make this a global modal and open it via context?

Instead of rendering HoldSubmitterEducationalModal and
HoldOrRejectEducationalModal inline in BaseReportActionContextMenu
(which creates modal instances per report action), use the existing
global ModalProvider context. This renders a single modal at the app
root when needed via useModal/showModal.

Refactored to use the existing global ModalProvider (useModal) instead of rendering modals inline per context menu instance.

What changed:

  • Created HoldSubmitterEducationalModalWrapper and HoldOrRejectEducationalModalWrapper — thin wrappers that integrate with the global modal system
  • Created useHoldEducationalModal hook — reads the NVP dismissal state and calls showModal() to render the educational modal at the app root (via ModalProvider) only when needed
  • Removed all inline modal state, refs, and <HoldSubmitterEducationalModal>/<HoldOrRejectEducationalModal> rendering from BaseReportActionContextMenu
  • Restored the original return structure (no Fragment wrapper needed)

Now only a single modal instance is created at the app root when the user triggers hold, instead of one per report action.
