I have this working on a local branch but am currently scope-creeping and making arrow navigation work on all our OptionsLists, not just NewGroup. The one that's proving trickier is IOUConfirmationList.

[roryabraham]

Just so you know I'm not just making stuff up, here's a draft PR with what I've got so far: #7702 🙃

[roryabraham]

Got my PR done and almost ready for review. It's a bit of a beast so I want to make sure I write up super thorough test / QA steps.

[MelvinBot]

@roryabraham Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[MelvinBot]

@roryabraham Still overdue 6 days?! Let's take care of this!

[roryabraham]

Okay, ended up being a very big PR but I think there's a lot of good changes there and it's very thoroughly tested. Excited to see how the review goes.

[mallenexpensify]

Assigned to @rushatgabhane , he's reviewing and testing the PR, job price for doing so will be $500.
Rushat, please apply here https://www.upwork.com/jobs/~016a9b6f5ca7f87207

[mallenexpensify]

PR is being reviewed, it's a bit large :)

[roryabraham]

Yeah, I'll try to push it forward ASAP. I might split it into multiple PRs to make it easier for the reviewers too. @rushatgabhane would it be helpful it I split off the KeyboardShortcut library changes from the rest?

[rushatgabhane]

@roryabraham participants being hidden is the main blocker for the PR.
If we can fix it, then there isn't much to gain by splitting the PR.

Splitting off KeyboardShortcut lib would be nice for the two tickets waiting on event bubbling to be implemented tho. (#7920 (comment), #7623)

[roryabraham]

I'm sure we'll be able to fix the participants being hidden bug, but frankly this just isn't as high priority as some other issues I've got assigned to me at the moment. So I'm going to create a separate PR for the KeyboardShortcut lib upgrades then follow-up with this as soon as I can.

[Christinadobrzyn]

Oh no! I'm not sure what I did here or if this is bad - @roryabraham would you be able to lend some insight?

[Christinadobrzyn]

Not sure why this auto-message is posting so many times, asking eng - https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C03TQ48KC/p1659380948350629

[marcaaron]

On it.

[marcaaron]

Sorry about that everyone. We accidentally created a bug when adding the new reminder feature. I think it should be resolved now. Going to leave a quick test comment here to confirm that can be ignored.

Test: #7648

[Christinadobrzyn]

Please ignore the ping, Rajat, just adding some notes to this GH as the payment structure wasn't super clear.

• Based on this convo here, @rushatgabhane should be compensated $1000 for the fix. Sounds like there was a regression so this should be $500.

• Although Rajat wasn't ever officially the C+ he helped with the PR so we're going to compensate him as the C+.

• It looks like there was 1 regression on this PR so the C+ compensation is $250.

[rushatgabhane]

Umm.. I thought I was alreaady paid $500.

I received $500 again 🤔

[Christinadobrzyn]

Yes, based on this comment, you should have been paid $1000 - I didn't see that at the time of paying you for this job so I added the additional $500 as a bonus.

[rushatgabhane]

@Christinadobrzyn If I'm not mistaken, base comp is $1000.

But there were regressions. So the total pay should be $500.

[Christinadobrzyn]

Sounds good, I wasn't aware of the regressions, is it an option to reject the bonus?

[rushatgabhane]

I'm not aware of any options to reject the bonus. But you can request a refund for it

[Christinadobrzyn]

Sounds good, I just requested a refund @rushatgabhane

@parasharrajat I also created this new job to pay you the $250 - https://www.upwork.com/ab/applicants/1554909413932630016/job-details
