Proposal

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

Missing title in Export out-of-pocket expenses as page

What is the root cause of that problem?

In case we don't have qboConfig?.reimbursableExpensesExportDestination then we are returning description as undefined here

App/src/pages/workspace/accounting/qbo/export/QuickbooksOutOfPocketExpenseConfigurationPage.tsx

Lines 45 to 62 in 25d32f8

	const [exportHintText, accountDescription] = useMemo(() => {
	let hintText: string | undefined;
	let description: string | undefined;
	switch (qboConfig?.reimbursableExpensesExportDestination) {
	case CONST.QUICKBOOKS_REIMBURSABLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE.CHECK:
	hintText = isLocationEnabled ? undefined : translate('workspace.qbo.exportCheckDescription');
	description = translate('workspace.qbo.bankAccount');
	break;
	case CONST.QUICKBOOKS_REIMBURSABLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE.JOURNAL_ENTRY:
	hintText = isTaxesEnabled ? undefined : translate('workspace.qbo.exportJournalEntryDescription');
	description = translate('workspace.qbo.account');
	break;
	case CONST.QUICKBOOKS_REIMBURSABLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE.VENDOR_BILL:
	hintText = isLocationEnabled ? undefined : translate('workspace.qbo.exportVendorBillDescription');
	description = translate('workspace.qbo.accountsPayable');
	break;
	default:
	break;

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

we should return description in default case as translate('workspace.qbo.account'); similar to how we do here

    default:
        description = translate('workspace.qbo.account');
        break;

App/src/pages/workspace/accounting/qbo/export/QuickbooksOutOfPocketExpenseConfigurationPage.tsx

Lines 61 to 62 in 25d32f8

	default:
	break;

    default:
        titleText = 'workspace.qbo.account';
        break;

App/src/pages/workspace/accounting/qbo/export/QuickbooksOutOfPocketExpenseAccountSelectPage.tsx

Lines 55 to 56 in 2fa5dd6

	default:
	break;

Note: We should also fix the places that have similar problems like here

Note: Currently in the app we will not hide the item if it is undefined and will leave a default value

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

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

What is the root cause of that problem?

This switch case has no default case handling, hence qboConfig?.reimbursableExpensesExportDestination is undefined (ie. export as is not set) - the following switch case would return description=undefined.

App/src/pages/workspace/accounting/qbo/export/QuickbooksOutOfPocketExpenseConfigurationPage.tsx

Lines 48 to 62 in bceff96

	switch (qboConfig?.reimbursableExpensesExportDestination) {
	case CONST.QUICKBOOKS_REIMBURSABLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE.CHECK:
	hintText = isLocationEnabled ? undefined : translate('workspace.qbo.exportCheckDescription');
	description = translate('workspace.qbo.bankAccount');
	break;
	case CONST.QUICKBOOKS_REIMBURSABLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE.JOURNAL_ENTRY:
	hintText = isTaxesEnabled ? undefined : translate('workspace.qbo.exportJournalEntryDescription');
	description = translate('workspace.qbo.account');
	break;
	case CONST.QUICKBOOKS_REIMBURSABLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE.VENDOR_BILL:
	hintText = isLocationEnabled ? undefined : translate('workspace.qbo.exportVendorBillDescription');
	description = translate('workspace.qbo.accountsPayable');
	break;
	default:
	break;

And hence an item with empty description is rendered.

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

hide item when description is undefined -

           {sections.map((section, index) => (
               section.description &&
               <OfflineWithFeedback

App/src/pages/workspace/accounting/qbo/export/QuickbooksOutOfPocketExpenseConfigurationPage.tsx

Lines 119 to 120 in bceff96

	{sections.map((section, index) => (
	<OfflineWithFeedback

Similar issue could be observed on QBD Export out-of-pocket expensespage as well, which should be fixed as well.
