Proposal

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

mWeb Android - Not able to create multiline description

What is the root cause of that problem?

Root cause is the submitOnEnter prop added recently on the TextInputs for description which are supposedly multiline

This prop causes this behavior as when user presses enter for a new line in description, it rather submits the current form

App/src/pages/tasks/TaskDescriptionPage.js

Lines 67 to 77 in f08ab19

	<TextInput
	inputID="description"
	name="description"
	label={props.translate('newTaskPage.descriptionOptional')}
	defaultValue={(props.task.report && props.task.report.description) || ''}
	ref={(el) => (inputRef.current = el)}
	autoGrowHeight
	submitOnEnter
	containerStyles={[styles.autoGrowHeightMultilineInput]}
	textAlignVertical="top"
	/>

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

We need to remove the submitOnEnter prop from here

App/src/pages/tasks/TaskDescriptionPage.js

Line 74 in f08ab19

submitOnEnter

and also other two pages: NewTaskDetailsPage and NewTaskDescriptionPage

As per the new discussion here #21205 (comment) , we are going to keep submitOnEnter and we have decided to opt for an android specific fix.

So since we the issue is only present in mobile web versions, we can disable submitOnEnter on those fields specifically

submitOnEnter={!Browser.isMobile()}

Browser.isMobile() will return true only for mobile web versions where we are unable to enter multiline description
