PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • 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).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • 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 shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • 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 the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers

    • 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 new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • 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.

P2 Badge Pass the expense report when creating threads

When this new non-chat path renders an expense report, iouReport still comes from the ReportActionItem lookup that only resolves report-preview actions, so it is undefined for these IOU actions. For an existing expense action without childReportID—the preview's press handler explicitly supports creating the transaction thread on demand—pressing the newly rendered card calls createTransactionThreadReport without the current expense report, which makes CREATE actions fail to open a thread (and TRACK actions can be parented to the self-DM instead). Pass the current expense report as the IOU report for this non-chat case.

The suggestion is correct. On the new non-chat path, ReportActionItem.tsx:177 derives iouReport via getIOUReportIDFromReportActionPreview(action), which only resolves REPORT_PREVIEW actions and returns undefined for an IOU action. That undefined flows into ChatTransactionPreview.tsx:67-75, so pressing a card with no childReportID calls createTransactionThreadReport without the IOU report — breaking thread creation for CREATE and mis-parenting TRACK.

For this path report is the expense report that owns the action, so pass it as the IOU report at ActionContentRouter.tsx:171:

iouReport={report?.type === CONST.REPORT.TYPE.CHAT ? iouReport : report}

This is type-safe (report is OnyxEntry<Report>; ChatTransactionPreview's iouReport accepts OnyxEntry<Report>) and leaves the SELF_DM / split-bill chat cases unchanged.

Good catch — fixed in 105cf1e. On the non-chat path report is the expense report that owns the IOU action, so it's now passed as iouReport:

iouReport={report?.type === CONST.REPORT.TYPE.CHAT ? iouReport : report}

This keeps the SELF_DM / split-bill chat cases unchanged while letting on-demand transaction-thread creation work for CREATE actions and parent TRACK actions to the correct report.

On the non-chat path report is the expense report that owns the IOU
action, so iouReport (derived from getIOUReportIDFromReportActionPreview)
is undefined. Pass report itself so on-demand transaction thread
creation works for CREATE actions and TRACK actions parent correctly.

Help site review: no changes required

I reviewed the changes in this PR against the help site articles under App/docs/articles.

Conclusion: No documentation updates are needed.

This PR is a frontend rendering bug fix. It restores a missing expense preview in the "In expense report" entry when filtering Chats on the Spend page (per #93641). The change only affects how an existing preview component is rendered:

  • ActionContentRouter.tsx — allows the inline preview to render for expense reports (non-chat), not just chats, and passes the correct chatReportID/iouReport for that case.
  • ChatTransactionPreview.tsx — adds an optional chatReportID prop that defaults to reportID.

There is no new feature, no new or renamed UI label, tab, setting, or button, and no behavioral change a user would need documented. The fix simply makes the UI match the already-expected behavior described in the issue. Help articles describe product features and workflows — none of them document the pixel-level preview rendering this PR corrects — so no article is now inaccurate or incomplete as a result of this change.

Because no docs changes are required, I did not create a draft help site PR.


@youssef-lr, please confirm you agree no help site updates are needed for this change. If you believe an article should be updated, let me know which behavior to document and I'll draft a PR.
