Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The search bar is not cleared after going to the new member invitation page

What is the root cause of that problem?

This behavior is caused by this issue #22534 where the initial value for the input search is fetched from the previous page here:

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceInvitePage.js

Lines 78 to 84 in addfa88

	useEffect(() => {
	if (!SearchInputManager.searchInput) {
	return;
	}
	setSearchTerm(SearchInputManager.searchInput);
	}, []);

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

remove this useEffect solves the issue

[bernhardoj]

Based on this comment, it is intentional.

Maybe we need to update the testrail and remove this search value clearing code that was used before?

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceMembersPage.js

Lines 180 to 183 in 3ed43ff

	const inviteUser = () => {
	setSearchValue('');
	Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_INVITE.getRoute(props.route.params.policyID));
	};

[hoangzinh]

agree with @bernhardoj. It looks like intentional cc @isabelastisser
