Explanation of Change

Stop scrolling and jumping when selecting items in the Search advanced filters participants selector (Spend > Filters > From / To / Attendee / Assignee).

Previously, selecting an item caused it to move into a dedicated "selected" section at the top of the list, and the list also auto-scrolled to the top. This was disorienting when selecting multiple participants from a long list.

Changes:

  • Pass shouldKeepSelectedInAvailableOptions: true and shouldSeparateNonExistingSelectedOptions: true to useSearchSelector so selected items remain inside the Recents / Contacts sections (with their isSelected flag) instead of being moved out into a separate "selected" section.
  • Use the hook's new selectedNonExistingOptions for an optional top section, which keeps selected items that are not present in the result list visible — for example, name-only attendees in the Attendee filter.
  • Drop the formatSectionsFromSearchTerm call that previously pulled all selected items out into a top section.
  • Always show currentUserOption at the top (filtered out of Recents / Contacts) with isSelected reflecting whether the current user is selected, so the current user's row also stays in place across selections.
  • Pass shouldUpdateFocusedIndex and shouldPreventAutoScrollOnSelect to SelectionListWithSections to keep the user's scroll position when a row is selected.

This follows the same pattern applied in #91387 (RoomInvitePage) and #91250 (DynamicWorkspaceInvitePage).

PROPOSAL:

Tests

  1. Sign in with an account that has many recent contacts (long enough for the participants list to exceed ~12 rows).
  2. Open Search > Filters
  3. Open the From filter and pre-select 2-3 participants. Apply the filter.
  4. Re-open the From filter:
    • Verify the previously-selected participants appear pinned at the top of the list.
    • Scroll halfway down the list and select another participant. The list does not scroll back to the top; the new row stays where it was tapped.
    • Tap a pinned (pre-selected) row to deselect it. The row stays in the same position at the top — only the checkmark toggles off.
    • Type a search term that does not match the pinned rows. Verify the pinned rows are hidden while the search is active, and reappear when the search is cleared.
  5. Repeat steps 3-4 for the To, Attendee, Assignee and Chat (reports instead of participants) filters.
  6. Verify the same flows on a small workspace / sparsely-populated account (list < ~12 rows): selected items should remain in their natural position (no top "pinned" section is created).
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

@MelvinBot I think selectedNonExistingOptions won't exist as server side search is never performed on this page. Can you confirm? If so, we can completely remove this section.

Can't fully confirm — selectedNonExistingOptions is not tied to server-side search; it's populated whenever a selected option's login is not present in availableOptions.personalDetails. See useSearchSelector/base.ts:429-434:

const selectedNonExistingOptions = shouldSeparateNonExistingSelectedOptions
    ? (() => {
          const personalDetailLogins = new Set(filteredPersonalDetails.map((option) => option.login).filter(Boolean));
          return selectedOptionsForDisplay.filter((option) => !personalDetailLogins.has(option.login));
      })()
    : [];

This component is shared by From / To / Assignee / Attendee filters:

  • For From / To / Assignee (shouldAllowNameOnlyOptions: false): pre-selected options are looked up by accountID in personalDetails and dropped if not found (SearchFiltersParticipantsSelector.tsx:254-266), so selectedNonExistingOptions will be empty in practice. You're right for this case.
  • For Attendee (shouldAllowNameOnlyOptions: true): name-only attendees have accountID = CONST.DEFAULT_NUMBER_ID and aren't in personalDetails (SearchFiltersParticipantsSelector.tsx:26-50, :230-251). They WILL show up in selectedNonExistingOptions, and without this section they'd disappear from the list when selected.

So this section is load-bearing for the Attendee filter and shouldn't be removed. If you'd prefer, we could gate it behind shouldAllowNameOnlyOptions to make the intent explicit — happy to push that if you want.

Done in 2bd5dcb1. Added a local extraSelectedOptions section (login-keyed, mirroring the extraSelectedReports pattern from SearchFiltersChatsSelector.tsx:111-123) above the Recents / Contacts sections so name-only attendees stay visible when selected. No new dependency on the hook's selectedNonExistingOptions.

@MelvinBot let's also fix SearchFiltersChatsSelector as similar component

Apply the same fix as SearchFiltersParticipantsSelector to the chats
selector — keep selected items in their natural position with isSelected
instead of moving them into a top section, and prevent auto-scroll on
toggle via shouldUpdateFocusedIndex and shouldPreventAutoScrollOnSelect.

Applied the same fix pattern to SearchFiltersChatsSelector in 3a19cd5:

  • Dropped formatSectionsFromSearchTerm — selected reports now stay in their natural position in the recent reports section, marked with isSelected: true, instead of jumping into a separate top section on toggle.
  • Kept a small section above for selected reports that aren't currently in the filtered results (e.g., after server-side search returns a different set), so they remain visible.
  • Passed shouldUpdateFocusedIndex and shouldPreventAutoScrollOnSelect to the SelectionListWithSections to preserve scroll position.

Code Review

Overview

This PR stops the scroll jump and section reshuffle that happened when toggling rows in the Search advanced-filters participant and chat selectors. Instead of pulling selected rows into a dedicated "selected" section at the top (via formatSectionsFromSearchTerm), selected rows now stay in their natural position with an isSelected flag, plus a top "extras" section for selected items that aren't in the current visible list. Scroll position is preserved via shouldUpdateFocusedIndex + shouldPreventAutoScrollOnSelect on SelectionListWithSections.

What changed

  • SearchFiltersChatsSelector.tsx: Drops formatSectionsFromSearchTerm; extraSelectedReports shown on top only when selected reports aren't in chatOptions.recentReports; visibleReports keeps selected reports inline with getSelectedOptionData.
  • SearchFiltersParticipantsSelector.tsx: Adds shouldKeepSelectedInAvailableOptions: true to useSearchSelector; rebuilds sections without formatSectionsFromSearchTerm; current user row computes isSelected directly.

Findings

1. Potential regression for name-only attendees (Attendee filter) — medium
The Chats selector keeps an extraSelectedReports safety net for selected items not present in chatOptions.recentReports (SearchFiltersChatsSelector.tsx:114-123). The Participants selector no longer has the analogous mechanism — there's no top section for selected items missing from chatOptions.personalDetails / chatOptions.recentReports. For the Attendee filter (shouldAllowNameOnlyOptions: true), pre-selected name-only attendees have accountID = CONST.DEFAULT_NUMBER_ID and a synthetic login (SearchFiltersParticipantsSelector.tsx:26-50, :215-251) and likely won't show up in personalDetails. Please QA the Attendee filter with a pre-selected name-only attendee and confirm it remains visible and toggleable when reopening the filter. If it doesn't, an extraSelectedOptions-style section is needed (this was what the removed selectedNonExistingOptions handled).

2. PR description out of sync with diff — low
The "Changes" section still references shouldSeparateNonExistingSelectedOptions: true, selectedNonExistingOptions, and an "optional top section… for name-only attendees in the Attendee filter." None of that is in the current diff. Please update the description so reviewers and the merge log reflect what actually shipped.

3. sectionIndex numbering — nit
Chats uses 0/1; Participants uses 0/1/2. They're hard-coded but never compared across the two files, so this is purely cosmetic. Worth a quick check that SelectionListWithSections doesn't treat sectionIndex as anything other than an opaque key — a fast skim of usages elsewhere should be enough.

4. Missing useMemo on Chats sections — nit
The Chats sections array is rebuilt on every render (SearchFiltersChatsSelector.tsx:108) while Participants memoizes. React Compiler should auto-memoize, but the inconsistency is worth flagging — either rely on the compiler in both files or memoize in both.

Tests

  • AI tests reported passing in the PR body (useSearchSelectorTest, useAdvancedSearchFilters.test.ts, lint, prettier, typecheck, react-compiler).
  • No new test for the keep-scroll behavior or the extraSelectedReports fallback in SearchFiltersChatsSelector. Existing tests cover the hook's behavior but not the component's section layout. Consider an RTL test that asserts a selected row stays in place when toggled, and that an extraSelectedReports-style item renders when not in chatOptions.recentReports.

Security / perf

  • No security concerns — no new data flow, no new API surface.
  • Perf: replacing .includes() lookups with Set lookups is a small win for the Chats selector.

Summary

The simplification looks correct for the common path and the scroll-position fix is well-targeted. The main thing I'd want confirmed before merge is the name-only attendee case (finding #1) — if that path is broken, the fix needs a small extras-section equivalent like the Chats selector has. The PR description also needs to be brought in line with the current diff.

P2 Badge Preserve selected participants outside visible options

When this selector opens with existing filters whose participants are not in the current availableOptions page/search result, the selected rows disappear from the list because the selected section was removed and the rendered data is now only chatOptions.recentReports plus chatOptions.personalDetails. shouldKeepSelectedInAvailableOptions only keeps selected items that getValidOptions already returned; it does not append selectedOptions initialized from initialAccountIDs. In that scenario the filter remains applied when pressing Apply, but the user cannot see or deselect it unless they know to search for that exact person, which regresses the previous selected section behavior.

attendees in the Attendee filter) visible when they aren't present in
the personalDetails / recentReports sections.

Before I push, want to confirm I have the intent right since this is a behavior change and there's been significant churn already.

My interpretation:

  • On first render (the first time options are initialized with data), if recentReports.length + personalDetails.length >= CONST.STANDARD_LIST_ITEM_LIMIT, capture the currently pre-selected items into a frozen "selected" section at the top of the list. Capture happens once via a useRef.
  • After that, the captured section never re-sorts:
    • Toggling selection on a row already in the captured section just updates its isSelected flag — it stays where it is.
    • Selecting a NEW row (one not in the captured set) leaves it in its natural Recents/Contacts position (matches current PR behavior).
    • Items in the captured set are filtered out of Recents/Contacts to avoid duplication.
  • If total < STANDARD_LIST_ITEM_LIMIT at first render → no top selected section is added at all; everything behaves like the current PR.
  • Apply the same pattern to SearchFiltersChatsSelector (since that's structurally the same).

Open questions before I push:

  1. "Very top" — do you want this section above the current user / extra-selected (non-existing) sections, or below them? My read: at the very top, so the order would be: pre-selected (frozen) → current user → extra-selected → recents → contacts. Confirm?
  2. What counts as the "list" for the threshold check — combined recentReports + personalDetails count, or just one of them? I'm going with combined.
  3. Pagination: when onListEndReached brings in more items later, should that re-trigger the "first render" check? My read: no — capture is truly one-time.

If those three match your intent, I'll implement and push. If any differ, lmk and I'll adjust before writing code.

@MelvinBot do this
Question 1: the correct order should be: pre-selected → extra-selected (non-existing) sections → current user → recents → contacts
Question 2: combined
Questoin 3: correct. capture is truely one-time

- Capture pre-selected options into a frozen 'selected' section at the top
  on the first render with data when Recents + Contacts >= 12 items.
- Selecting a row in the captured section keeps it in place; only its
  isSelected flag updates.
- New selections stay in their natural Recents/Contacts position.
- Captured items are filtered out of Recents/Contacts to avoid duplicates.
- Apply the same pattern to SearchFiltersChatsSelector.

Order: pre-selected -> extra-selected (non-existing) -> current user
  -> recents -> contacts.

Pushed in d6f84ac. Implemented all three confirmed answers:

  1. Order: pre-selected (frozen) → extra-selected (non-existing) → current user → recents → contacts.
  2. Threshold: combined availableOptions.recentReports.length + availableOptions.personalDetails.length >= CONST.STANDARD_LIST_ITEM_LIMIT (12) — same combined check on chatOptions.recentReports.length for the chats selector since that list only has reports.
  3. Capture is one-time: snapshot is stored in useState and only set when it is null. The capture happens via the "set state during render" pattern (gated on frozenSelectedOptions === null && areOptionsInitialized && pre-selected hydrated), so the snapshot is taken on the same render where data first becomes available — and never re-runs on pagination, search, or selection changes.

Implementation notes for review:

  • In the captured section, each row's isSelected is recomputed from the current selectedOptions on every render, so toggling a frozen row updates the checkmark in place without moving it.
  • Items in the frozen set are filtered out of Recents / Contacts (and the current-user section is suppressed if the current user was captured), so we never render the same row twice.
  • New selections (rows not in the captured set) stay in their natural Recents / Contacts position — they get isSelected = true via the existing shouldKeepSelectedInAvailableOptions flow, no movement.
  • The participant selector captures full OptionData objects so the frozen rows remain visible/intact even when the user types a search term that wouldn't normally match those rows.
  • If the combined count is < 12 at first render, the captured value is [] and no top section is rendered — behaviour identical to the previous PR for short lists.

Initial AI tests passed locally (prettier, lint on changed, react-compiler COMPILED for both files, useSearchSelectorTest 15/15, useAdvancedSearchFilters.test 18/18). typecheck-tsgo errors are all pre-existing in MapView/utils.ts, ConvertGpsPointsTo2DArray.ts, useClearSelectedDomainMembersOnMoveComplete.ts, and TryNewDotUtilsTest.ts — unrelated to this change.

@MelvinBot selected items should be filtered out from search.
i.e. Pre-selected "A" should not appear when type "B"

Done in 633c81ab. The pre-selected snapshot section and the extra-selected (non-existing) section are now both filtered by the current debouncedSearchTerm using doesPersonalDetailMatchSearchTerm, so a pre-selected "A" no longer appears when you type "B" — same behavior as Recents / Contacts. The isOptionFrozen dedupe set is still built from the unfiltered snapshot, so "A" also doesn't pop into Recents / Contacts when it's hidden from the top section.

@MelvinBot is it possible to extract common hook and utils for putting pre-selected items at the top on first render and then lock?
Simiar to useInitialSelection, moveInitialSelectionToTop, but with sections and without performance impact.

Done — pushed 5b430095a and updated the PR description.

Explanation of Change: rewrote to two short paragraphs covering the user-visible change + the shared hook, dropping the prop-by-prop list.

Code comments: trimmed across useFrozenPreSelection.ts and SearchFiltersParticipantsSelector.tsx. JSDoc on the hook is now one-line per option; the useEffect hydration comments drop "First, try…" / "If not found…" preamble; the pinned-section / current-user / getKey comments now lead with what they do instead of describing React internals. Comments in SearchFiltersChatsSelector.tsx were already concise — left untouched.

Lint, typecheck, and react-compiler-compliance all green; no behavior change.

### Tests
1. Sign in with an account that has many recent contacts (long enough for the participants list to exceed ~12 rows).
2. Open **Search** > **Filters**
3. Open the **From** filter and pre-select 2-3 participants. Apply the filter.
4. Re-open the From filter:
   - Verify the previously-selected participants appear **pinned at the top** of the list.
   - Scroll halfway down the list and select another participant. The list does **not scroll back to the top**; the new row stays where it was tapped.
   - Tap a pinned (pre-selected) row to deselect it. The row stays in the same position at the top — only the checkmark toggles off.
   - Type a search term that does not match the pinned rows. Verify the pinned rows are hidden while the search is active, and reappear when the search is cleared.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 for the **To**, **Attendee**, **Assignee** and **Chat** (reports instead of participants) filters.
6. Verify the same flows on a small workspace / sparsely-populated account (list < ~12 rows): selected items should **remain in their natural position** (no top "pinned" section is created).

- [x] Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

P2 Badge Mark extra selected name-only attendees as selected

When an Attendee filter contains a name-only value that is not present in the current recents/contacts (for example after a cache clear, which the hydration fallback explicitly supports), extraSelectedOptions is rendered directly in this new top section. Those hydrated name-only options only carry selected: true from getOptionDataFromAttendee/the fallback object, not isSelected, and UserSelectionListItem/SelectionListWithSections use isSelected for the checkbox, so the already-applied attendee appears unchecked and tapping it will actually remove it. The previous formatted selected section forced selected rows to isSelected: true; this path should do the same for extra selected rows.

There's bug of showing current user twice in Attendee filter but also happens on staging so out of scope.

There's critical bug - SearchFiltersParticipantsSelector component is re-rendered endlessly after typing something.
This happens on main so out of scope.

❌ CONSISTENCY-3 (docs)

The getKey function (lines 156-165) duplicates the identifier-extraction logic that already exists inside applyChanges (lines 188-196). Both code paths resolve an OptionData to a string identifier using the same branching: check shouldAllowNameOnlyOptions, then check accountID vs DEFAULT_NUMBER_ID, then fall back to displayName || login.

Reuse getKey inside applyChanges to eliminate the duplication:

const applyChanges = () => {
    const selectedIdentifiers = selectedOptions
        .map(getKey)
        .filter(Boolean) as string[];

    onFiltersUpdate(selectedIdentifiers);
    Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.SEARCH_ADVANCED_FILTERS.getRoute());
};

Good catch — done in 22d1ef810f. applyChanges now calls getKey instead of inlining the same branching.
