Triggered auto assignment to @iwiznia (Engineering
), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4319 for more details.
hmmm, I would believe this is related to the screen size being too small? cc @Expensify/design what do you think of this? What should happen in this case if the phone is too narrow?
Triggered auto assignment to @michelle-thompson (Design
), see these Stack Overflow questions for more details.
Hmm maybe we just need to make these suggested hints shorter? Is there discussion somewhere from where this was implemented?
I have no idea...
Yeah, even without the cursor error it's not ideal to have two lines of suggested text.
@michelle-thompson Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!
Not overdue
@michelle-thompson Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!
I think the easiest thing to do here would just be to shorten the hint text - thoughts?
I agree with that.
So we could rephrase the above hint text to the following:
- "Ask how to scan receipts!"
- "Ask for free corporate cards!"
- "Ask how to send invoices!"
@iwiznia what do you think about this?
Not overdue
🤷 let me assign someone from marketing

@joaniew, @michelle-thompson Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...
Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (First week)
Do we need multiple inputs here? Is there a character limit or number we're aiming for when we say its too long/short?
Maybe a simple "How can I help?"
This is occurring from the concierge placeholder options we have here.
We will need to update both the en.js
and es.js
files.

@shawnborton, @joaniew Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!
Yes, that makes sense to me! Either replace them or don't show them on smaller screens.
Ask me how to scan a receipt - 28 characters, so we should do less than that. Ask me how to pay people - 24 characters, so that is ok.
I don't think they all have to start with Ask me - seems arbitrary so suggesting the below using those character parameters:
- Help me get reimbursed (22 characters)
- How can I help? (16 characters)
- Questions? I can help! (24 characters)
or agree with shawn to cut the last 3.
@shawnborton, @joaniew Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

still waiting for feedback on my suggestions
Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (Third week) Are we ok to close this one?
@shawnborton, @joaniew Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...
I think the best solution will be to ignore the last 3 options on smaller screens. I am going to push a PR today to update it.
