PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I verified there are no new alerts related to the canBeMissing param for useOnyx
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
      • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

P2 Badge Include wide Posted width in horizontal scroll sizing

When any posted date needs the wider 102px cell, this only widens the rendered header/rows; the report table still decides shouldScrollHorizontally and the ScrollView contentContainerStyle from getTableMinWidth(columnsToShow), which has no access to postedColumnSize and always budgets the POSTED column at the fixed narrow amount. On desktop widths where the old table width fits but the widened Posted column does not, the table will not enter the horizontal-scroll path (or the scroll content width will be too small), so the Posted column can still be clipped instead of becoming scrollable.

This looks like a pre-existing limitation of the date-column widening rather than something introduced here. getTableMinWidth (SearchUIUtils.ts:6256) budgets a fixed width per column — DATE +48, SUBMITTED/APPROVED/POSTED +72 — with no awareness of the wide 102px variant, so the same gap already applies to Date/Submitted/Approved/Exported, all of which widen to 102px today. In the report layout the Date column already widens (its dateColumnSize was wired before this PR) with the exact same discrepancy. This change just brings Posted to parity with its sibling date columns rather than creating a new scroll-sizing path.

Making getTableMinWidth size-aware for the whole date-column family would fix it, but I'd prefer to handle that as a separate follow-up than fold it into this focused Posted fix.

P2 Badge Widen posted column when its cell renders a year

For report-layout rows with raw card posted dates such as 20260710, TransactionItemRowWide passes transactionItem.posted directly to DateCell; DateCell chooses the year format through DateUtils.doesDateBelongToAPastYear, whose new Date('YYYYMMDD') path yields NaN and therefore selects the year format even for current-year values. This new size predicate returns false for current-year posted dates, so those rows still render MMM d, yyyy in the normal 62px Posted column and remain truncated. Consider matching the renderer's predicate or normalizing posted dates before sizing/rendering.

I think this still needs a code change. shouldShowTransactionPostedYear() returns false for current-year raw posted dates like 20260710, but DateCell renders the same value with the year because doesDateBelongToAPastYear() uses new Date('YYYYMMDD'), which is invalid/NaN. So the Posted column can stay narrow while the cell renders MMM d, yyyy, leaving the truncation unresolved.

@mukhrr What do you think about either normalize posted before passing it to DateCell, or make the width predicate match the exact render predicate used by DateCell? Thanks.

normalize posted before passing it to DateCell

@brunovjk thanks. I think this makes more sense

Thank you @mukhrr, I tested locally with mocked posted dates.

The original issue looks fixed: past-year posted dates like 20251231 render as Dec 31, 2025 without truncation.

But the Jan 1 edge case still reproduces in a negative timezone. With posted = "20260101", the value is normalized to 2026-01-01, but DateCell still uses new Date('2026-01-01').getFullYear(), which resolves to 2025 in my timezone. So it renders Jan 1, 2026 while the Posted column remains narrow, causing truncation:

Edge case: only current-year posted dates Mixed case: past-year date widens the whole column
edge mixed

LGTM.

One note: while testing in a negative timezone, I noticed that when the posted date is Jan 1, 2026, it still renders as Jan 1, 2026 instead of Jan 1, even when all posted dates are in 2026. I don’t think that’s in scope for this PR, since the truncation itself is now fixed, but please let me know if anyone disagrees.

🤖 I reviewed the changes in this PR against the help site articles under docs/articles, and no help site updates are required. I did not create a draft PR.

Why: This is a visual bug fix, not a behavior or feature change. It widens the Posted column in the Report layout table so full dates that include the year (YYYY-MM-DD) are no longer truncated, by:

  • adding a postedColumnSize prop that switches to the wide size when any transaction's posted date falls in a past year, and
  • extracting getFormattedPostedDate / shouldShowTransactionPostedYear helpers to format the raw YYYYMMDD posted value.

What the docs cover: The relevant article, Using Reports in New Expensify, documents how to show/hide, reorder, and save columns (including Posted). It does not describe how date values are rendered or sized within a column, so nothing in it becomes inaccurate because of this change. The fix simply makes the UI match the already-documented behavior — no new feature, setting, tab, or button is introduced that would need documentation.

No HelpDot PR was created and nothing needs to be assigned, since there are no help site file changes to review.

Hi @mukhrr. QA team doesn't see the Data column in the Posted column for reports with 2+ expenses. Do we need a special account to test this, or is the feature still behind a beta rollout?
