Proposal

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

Address without state can be saved

What is the root cause of that problem?

The defaultValue prop is used in the state component of the AddressForm instead of value. As a result, when the value of the country changes, the state resets to "" here, but this change isn't reflected in the UI because defaultValue only sets the initial value. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5a2602c441170093e99850e2194808218b0aa838/src/components/AddressForm.tsx#L191-L199

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

We should use value instead of defaultValue in the StatePicker component, and adjust other components if necessary.

Proposal

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

Address without state can still be saved.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We don't use defaultValue when we validate the form

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

We can add shouldUseDefaultValue here:

Proposal

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

Address without state can be saved

What is the root cause of that problem?

using defaultValue instead of value causes the state InputWrapper component here to not rerender when the state variable changes.

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

we should change defaultValue to value and pass the state variable. I also made some adjustments here so that we use only one component instead of two when the county is USA or any other country.

            <View style={isUSAForm ? styles.mhn5 : {}}>
                <InputWrapper
                    InputComponent={isUSAForm ? StateSelector : TextInput}
                    inputID={INPUT_IDS.STATE}
                    label={translate('common.stateOrProvince')}
                    aria-label={translate('common.stateOrProvince')}
                    role={isUSAForm ? CONST.ROLE.PRESENTATION : undefined}
                    value={state}
                    maxLength={isUSAForm ? CONST.FORM_CHARACTER_LIMIT : undefined}
                    spellCheck={!isUSAForm}
                    onValueChange={onAddressChanged}
                    shouldSaveDraft={shouldSaveDraft}
                />
            </View>

@abzokhattab's proposal looks good to me. It's weird that defaultValue is passed in state selector, while value is passed in country selector in current codebase. 🎀👀🎀 C+ reviewed

shouldUseDefaultValue can be alternative option but I prefer using value since it's consistent with country selector. I see that @wildan-m raised discussion on slack but no one responded. I bumped in channel.
