Proposal

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

After accessing the Who's your card provider? page from a specific bank, going back brings you to the bank list

What is the root cause of that problem?

On this handleBackButtonPress, we navigate the user to SELECT_BANK instead of SELECT_FEED_TYPE

App/src/pages/workspace/companyCards/addNew/CardTypeStep.tsx

Lines 91 to 93 in 0eec30d

	const handleBackButtonPress = () => {
	CompanyCards.setAddNewCompanyCardStepAndData({step: CONST.COMPANY_CARDS.STEP.SELECT_BANK});
	};

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

Change the handleBackButtonPress to this

    const handleBackButtonPress = () => {
        if (isOtherBankSelected) {
            CompanyCards.setAddNewCompanyCardStepAndData({step: CONST.COMPANY_CARDS.STEP.SELECT_BANK});
        } else {
            CompanyCards.setAddNewCompanyCardStepAndData({step: CONST.COMPANY_CARDS.STEP.SELECT_FEED_TYPE});
        }
    };

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal

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

When navigating back from the "Who’s your provider?" page, the user is returned to the general bank list instead of the specific bank page they had previously selected. This disrupts the user flow by not maintaining the selected bank context.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The back navigation logic (handleBackButtonPress) resets the navigation step to the general bank list (SELECT_BANK) without preserving the selectedBank context, resulting in a loss of the user's previously selected bank information.

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

1. Update the handleBackButtonPress logic to pass the selectedBank and any other necessary data to maintain the user context.
2. Modify the setAddNewCompanyCardStepAndData function to ensure the selected bank information is preserved when navigating back.
3. Ensure that all navigation states and conditions account for the user's previously selected choices.

App/src/pages/workspace/companyCards/addNew/CardTypeStep.tsx

const handleBackButtonPress = () => {
    CompanyCards.setAddNewCompanyCardStepAndData({
        step: CONST.COMPANY_CARDS.STEP.SELECT_BANK,
        data: {
            ...addNewCard?.data, // Preserve existing data
            selectedBank,       // Retain the selected bank
        },
    });
};

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

1. Valid Bank Selection: Verify that navigating back from the "Who’s your provider?" page returns the user to the previously selected bank page.
2. Invalid Bank Selection: Test back navigation without selecting a bank to ensure it returns to the bank list with no preselection.
3. State Retention: Confirm selectedBank is retained across navigations and back actions.
4. UI State Validation: Ensure UI elements linked to selectedBank update correctly during transitions.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

1. State Management: Use Redux/Context for global state consistency, though more complex.
2. URL Navigation: Add selectedBank to route parameters for persistent state.
3. Breadcrumb Navigation: Use breadcrumbs for clearer flow and accurate back navigation.
4. The chosen approach—preserving selectedBank—is simpler and fits seamlessly with existing logic.
