👋 Friendly reminder that deploy blockers are time-sensitive ⏱ issues! Check out the open Staging deploy checklist to see the list of PRs included in this release, then work quickly on the following:

1. If you find which PR caused the issue/bug, you can reassign it to the person responsible for it.
   • If the author is OOO or won’t get online before the daily deploy is due, you are responsible for finding the best fix/path forward. Don’t hesitate to ask for help!
2. Try to reproduce the issue, if the bug is on production, remove the DeployBlocker label but stay assigned to fix it (or find out which PR broke it to get help from the author).
   • You can adjust the urgency of the issue to better represent the gravity of the bug.
   • If the issue is super low priority, feel free to un-assign yourself.
   • Be careful with PHP warnings, sometimes it is more complex than just adding a null coalescing operator as they might be uncovering some bigger bug.
   • If it was a one-off issue that requires no action (for example, Bedrock was down or it is a duplicated issue), you can close it.

Remember rule #2: Never un-assign yourself from a real DeployBlocker unless you are 100% sure someone else is assigned and will take care of it.

Proposal

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

Hold is incorrectly lowercase in the dot separator pattern

What is the root cause of that problem?

In money request preview, we have a function getPreviewHeaderText that turns the message like in our example "Cash . Hold"

In the case of this issue, the hold is from this line

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestPreview/MoneyRequestPreviewContent.tsx

Line 156 in a6cb60c

const violationMessage = ViolationsUtils.getViolationTranslation(violations[0], translate);

The function getViolationTranslation will receive the violations[0] value and translate it.

In our case, the function getViolationTranslation doesn't support violations[0] where it's equal to hold, so it just turns the value from violations[0]

We can check that when we change the language to Spanish

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

inside getViolationTranslation we need to add the case of "hold" here

case  'hold':
return  translate('iou.hold');

POC:

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

We can also dismiss the case of violations?.[0].name !== 'hold' here

if (violations?.[0] && violations?.[0].name !== 'hold') {
