Proposal

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

The cursor is at the beginning when opening the edit description page

What is the root cause of that problem?

This issue comes from PR
We are allowing multiple description lines here
But we only have the focus logic on the input

App/src/pages/EditRequestDescriptionPage.js

Line 30 in 9b302c9

onEntryTransitionEnd={() => descriptionInputRef.current && descriptionInputRef.current.focus()}

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

We should update the logic focus using focusAndUpdateMultilineInputRange

onEntryTransitionEnd={() => focusAndUpdateMultilineInputRange(descriptionInputRef.current)}

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

I agree with @namhihi237 this is the same solution used in MoneyRequestDescriptionPage. Sorry that I missed this

I don't think this is serious enough to mark as deploy blocker.
We're refactoring focusAndUpdateMultilineInputRange logic throughout the app in #21654.

[puneetlath]

That makes sense to me. I'm going close this in favor of #21654. Thanks y'all.

[chiragxarora]

yes, I've added fix for this in my PR for #21654
