Explanation of Change

Adds numberOfLines to MenuItem.Title/FieldValue and numberOfLinesValue to the MenuItemField preset, then migrates every callsite that only needed numberOfLinesTitle or title/row styles that turned out to be no-ops (styles.flex1 on the title, styles.moneyRequestMenuItem on the row). Adds a Phase 4 section to the comparison story.

Fixed Issues

$ #100159
PROPOSAL:

Tests

  1. Open a workspace with report fields enabled: Workspace > More features > Report fields
  2. Open a list-type report field that has several values, so List values holds a long comma-joined string
  3. Verify that the value wraps and stops at 5 lines, and that pressing the row still opens the list values page
  4. Go to Workspace > Members > Invite, select at least 10 members and continue to the message step
  5. Verify that the Members row wraps its value onto at most 2 lines, and that pressing it goes back to the member selection
  6. Create a distance expense and stop on the confirmation screen
  7. Verify that the Rate, Tax rate, Tax amount, Time and Per diem rows render with the field name above the value, are vertically aligned with the untouched rows around them, and keep the same horizontal padding
  8. Submit the expense, open it from the report, and verify that the same rows in the expense details view are unchanged and still open their edit pages
  9. Open a car or hotel trip from a travel booking
  10. Verify that the Cancellation row wraps onto at most 2 lines
  11. Log out, open a share link so the app is in the anonymous state, then open a QR code page with a downloadable code
  12. Press Download and verify that the QR code downloads instead of the app signing you out
  13. Run Storybook (npm run storybook) and open Components/MenuItemComparison
  14. Verify that in the Phase 4 — title styles section every card renders its legacy, composable and preset rows identically

  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English.

    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.

  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

hmmm not sure what's going on with Card, but I assume it's been discussed somewhere and is a temporary state of affairs

oh, I probably should have named it differently 😅 But it is just a section comparing usages

🤖 No help site changes are required — no draft PR created.

This PR is an internal component refactor. It migrates MenuItemWithTopDescription callsites to the MenuItemField preset and adds a numberOfLines / numberOfLinesValue prop so field values can wrap. Nothing a help article documents changes.

Why I concluded no docs impact

I checked the diff against the three things that would force a docs/articles update — changed copy, changed navigation, and changed feature behavior:

  • No copy changes. No src/languages/*.ts file is in the diff. Every label in the diff (common.destination, iou.taxAmount, travel.carDetails.cancellation, workspace.moreFeatures.companyCards.cardFeedName, workspace.reportFields.listValues, and the rest) is an existing translation key that only moved from the description/title props to the preset's name/value props. The rendered strings are byte-identical.
  • No navigation or entry-point changes. Every onPress keeps its existing route. The refactor rewrites interactive/shouldShowRightIcon into the preset's onPress-presence convention, which is the same behavior expressed differently.
  • No feature behavior changes. The only user-visible differences are presentational: long field values now wrap and clamp (2 lines on Cancellation, Category, Date, Tax, Report, Address, Trip, Time; 5 lines on List values) instead of truncating on one line. Help articles describe what a field is for, not how many lines it renders on.
  • The one behavior fix is a bug fix, not a documented behavior. src/pages/ShareCodePage.tsx rebuilds the Download row with composable MenuItem parts so an anonymous user downloading a QR code is no longer signed out. The help site documents that you can download a QR code — it never documented the sign-out, which was the bug.

I searched docs/articles for content tied to these rows and found nothing that describes field truncation, row layout, or the MenuItem component. There is no article whose accuracy this PR affects.

If you'd like a docs update anyway for something I read as purely presentational — for example if the List values wrapping is meant to be called out in the Report fields article — reply with @MelvinBot and the article you have in mind and I'll open the draft PR.

@war-in, please review the linked help site PR and confirm it reflects the current behavior. Then mark the linked help site PR Ready for review
