Problem

Users had to know to hit "Enter" to save when renaming an issue view inline. If they clicked outside, the edit would just dismiss without saving, causing confusion and a poor UX (see Slack discussion in #discuss-design-engineering).

Solution

Updated the EditableIssueViewHeader component to add explicit confirmation buttons for inline editing:

  • ✅ Added Save and Cancel buttons below the input field when in edit mode
  • ✅ Save button shows loading state (busy prop) while the API request is pending
  • ✅ All controls (input, Save, Cancel) are disabled during the save operation
  • ✅ Success toast notification displays: "Renamed view from {oldName} to {newName}"
  • ✅ Cancel button exits edit mode without saving
  • Kept keyboard shortcuts for power users (Enter to save, Escape to cancel)
  • ✅ Removed blur-to-cancel behavior that caused confusion

Testing

Created focused test coverage:

  • 6 test cases in tests/js/spec/views/issueList/editableIssueViewHeader.spec.tsx
  • All pre-commit hooks passed (eslint, prettier, stylelint)
  • Tests verify core UI behavior: entering/exiting edit mode, Save/Cancel buttons, keyboard shortcuts, input validation

Test Results

  • ✅ Save and Cancel buttons render correctly
  • ✅ Edit mode can be entered via button click or double-click
  • ✅ Edit mode can be exited via Cancel button or Escape key
  • ✅ Input validation prevents saving empty names
  • ✅ All tests passing locally and in CI

Files Changed

  • static/app/views/issueList/editableIssueViewHeader.tsx - Main component updates
  • tests/js/spec/views/issueList/editableIssueViewHeader.spec.tsx - Test suite
