Proposal

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

RBR doesn't disappear from LHN after removing error message

What is the root cause of that problem?

Here we call clearPolicyRoomNameErrors

App/src/pages/settings/Report/ReportSettingsPage.tsx

Line 76 in 53f9e57

onClose={() => ReportActions.clearPolicyRoomNameErrors(reportID)}

and in clearPolicyRoomNameErrors we only clear errorFields but not errors

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 2220 to 2229 in c244fa1

	function clearPolicyRoomNameErrors(reportID: string) {
	Onyx.merge(`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${reportID}`, {
	errorFields: {
	reportName: null,
	},
	pendingFields: {
	reportName: null,
	},
	});
	}

and here when we fail we set errors to common.genericErrorMessage

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 665 to 667 in 169a3aa

	errors: {
	reportName: Localize.translateLocal('common.genericErrorMessage'),
	},

So the RCA is when "x" is pressed we clear errorFields but not errors

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

Solution 1
Instead of setting errors here set "errorFields" error to invalid Name

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 665 to 667 in 169a3aa

	errors: {
	reportName: Localize.translateLocal('common.genericErrorMessage'),
	},

Note:we can keep errors here too.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

In clearPolicyRoomNameErrors also clear errors or create a new function to use here

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 2220 to 2229 in c244fa1

	function clearPolicyRoomNameErrors(reportID: string) {
	Onyx.merge(`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${reportID}`, {
	errorFields: {
	reportName: null,
	},
	pendingFields: {
	reportName: null,
	},
	});
	}

        errors: {
                    reportName: 'null',
                },

@mallenexpensify As mentioned in BZ checklist here, I think we can skip the regression test as this is an edge case.

[mallenexpensify]

BZ checklist #42765 (comment),

@rojiphil , it looks like you just checked the box there. We also want reasoning if we don't create a test case. We want to err on the side of creating more test cases because the QA will know if it's needed. They also have a separate monthly test for edge cases.

I created a test case using the steps in the PR

@mallenexpensify Ok. Got it and noted too. Thanks.
