Proposal

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

After editing expense details, page not scrolled and focused to system message.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We don't notifyNewAction when updating all fields of money request

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/1220039898fa66fea87343c678c827b679394267/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts#L5574

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

We should call notifyNewAction to scroll to the bottom after we edit the money request

Report.notifyNewAction(transactionThreadReportID, Report.getCurrentUserAccountID(), params.reportActionID);

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/1220039898fa66fea87343c678c827b679394267/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts#L5574

OPTIONAL: We can check if the transaction thread report is one transaction thread we will notifyNewAction to parentReport

We should do the same for other update money request functions.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
