Explanation of Change

In getDistanceInMeters, the route distance (transaction.routes.route0.distance) was checked first and took priority over comment.customUnit.quantity. When a user manually updates the distance value in Expensify Classic, UpdateTransaction writes only to comment.customUnit.quantity but does not clear routes.route0.distance. This caused the stale route value to be displayed instead of the manually updated distance.

The fix reverses the priority: prefer customUnit.quantity when it is set (since it reflects the user's manual update), and only fall back to routes.route0.distance when no custom quantity exists (e.g. during initial distance request creation before the route is completed).

Fixed Issues

$ #86568

Tests

  1. Create an expense on New Expensify using Track distance and the map
  2. Enter any two waypoints and save the expense
  3. Open the same expense on Expensify Classic
  4. Manually update the distance value and save the expense
  5. Reopen the expense on New Expensify
  6. Verify the distance field shows the manually updated value, not the original route distance
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

N/A - This is a display logic fix that does not involve network requests.

QA Steps

  1. Create an expense on New Expensify using Track distance and the map
  2. Enter any two waypoints and save the expense
  3. Open the same expense on Expensify Classic
  4. Manually update the distance value and save the expense
  5. Reopen the expense on New Expensify
  6. Verify the distance field shows the manually updated value, not the original route distance
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • 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 any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • 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 shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.

…dated quantity

When a user manually updates the distance value in Expensify Classic,
UpdateTransaction writes to comment.customUnit.quantity but does not
clear routes.route0.distance. Since getDistanceInMeters checked route
distance first, the stale route value was displayed instead of the
manually updated one.

Reverse the priority: prefer customUnit.quantity when set, falling back
to routes.route0.distance only when no custom quantity exists.
