Proposal

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

Navigating back from Group Name page takes you to settings

What is the root cause of that problem?

It will always navigate to REPORT_SETTINGS on back button press after refresh page if isUpdatingExistingReport is true due to this code:

App/src/pages/GroupChatNameEditPage.tsx

Lines 92 to 95 in 298f63b

	<HeaderWithBackButton
	title={translate('groupConfirmPage.groupName')}
	onBackButtonPress={() => Navigation.goBack(isUpdatingExistingReport ? ROUTES.REPORT_SETTINGS.getRoute(reportID) : ROUTES.NEW_CHAT_CONFIRM)}
	/>

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

Update that code to navigate to the report detail page on back button press after refresh page

onBackButtonPress={() => Navigation.goBack(isUpdatingExistingReport ? ROUTES.REPORT_WITH_ID_DETAILS.getRoute(reportID) : ROUTES.NEW_CHAT_CONFIRM)}

Proposal

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

• Navigated from group name page to the Settings page

What is the root cause of that problem?

• The back button works properly if we do not refreshing the page though we use Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.REPORT_SETTINGS.getRoute(reportID)). It is because:
• When we click on header, the screen stack is:

[
 ...
    {
        "name": "RightModalNavigator",
        "state": {
            "index": 0,
            "routes": [
                {
                    "name": "Report_Details",
                    "state": {
                        "index": 0,
                        "routes": [
                            {
                                "name": "Report_Details_Root"
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

• Then click on report name, the screen stack is:

[
 ...
    {
        "name": "RightModalNavigator",
        "state": {
            "index": 1,
            "routes": [
                {
                    "name": "Report_Details",
                    "state": {
                        "index": 0,
                        "routes": [
                            {
                                "name": "Report_Details_Root"
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                },
                {
                    "name": "Report_Settings",
                    "state": {
                        "index": 0,
                        "routes": [
                            {
                                "name": "Report_Settings_Name"
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

• Now if we click on back button, this logic is called:
  

  App/src/libs/Navigation/Navigation.ts

  Lines 216 to 219 in 298f63b

  	if ((lastRoute?.name === NAVIGATORS.RIGHT_MODAL_NAVIGATOR || lastRoute?.name === NAVIGATORS.LEFT_MODAL_NAVIGATOR) && (lastRoute.state?.index ?? 0) > 0) {
  	navigationRef.current.goBack();
  	return;
  	}

  
  then the Report_Details_Root is displayed as expected.

• In case of the bug, when we open Report_Settings_Name page then refreshing, the screen stack is:

[
...
    {
        "name": "RightModalNavigator",
        "state": {
            "index": 0,
            "routes": [
                {
                    "name": "Report_Settings",
                    "state": {
                        "index": 0,
                        "routes": [
                            {
                                "name": "Report_Settings_Name"
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

• Now, if we click on back button, this logic is called:
  

  App/src/libs/Navigation/Navigation.ts

  Lines 222 to 225 in 298f63b

  	if (shouldEnforceFallback || (isFirstRouteInNavigator && fallbackRoute)) {
  	navigate(fallbackRoute, CONST.NAVIGATION.TYPE.UP);
  	return;
  	}

  
  then the Report_Settings_Name is replaced by Report_Settings_Root. Here is the bug 's behavior.

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

• We need to use Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.REPORT_WITH_ID_DETAILS.getRoute(reportID)) instead to make sure, in the 2nd case in my RCA section, the Report_Settings_Name is replaced by Report_Details_Root, not Report_Settings_Root. Create a go back function:

    const goBack = useCallback(() => Navigation.goBack(isUpdatingExistingReport ? ROUTES.REPORT_WITH_ID_DETAILS.getRoute(reportID) : ROUTES.NEW_CHAT_CONFIRM), [isUpdatingExistingReport, reportID]);

and use it in here, here and here.
