🎯 FREELANCER TASK - Navigation Flow Fix

Task Type: Flutter Navigation/State Management
Complexity: Medium (2-4 hours)
Platform: FlutterFlow Project

---

Problem Description:

After adding an employee to a schedule, the approval flow requires users to click "Accept" multiple times to navigate back through screens. This creates poor UX and indicates navigation stack management issues.

---

How to Reproduce:

1. Login as: Employee user

2. Navigate to: Add employee to schedule flow

3. Action: Add an employee to your schedule

4. Observe: App shows request to "Approve" or "Decline"

5. Problem: User must click "Accept" multiple times to return to previous screens

---

Current Behavior (BROKEN):

• User clicks "Accept" → stays on same screen

• User clicks "Accept" again → might go back one screen

• User must click "Accept" multiple times to fully navigate back

• Navigation stack not properly managed

Expected Behavior (FIXED):

• User clicks "Accept" → immediately navigates to appropriate screen

• Single click should complete the action and return user to logical next screen

• Smooth navigation flow without multiple clicks

---

Technical Implementation:

What to Check:

1. Navigation Stack Management:

   • Review Navigator.pop() vs Navigator.pushReplacement() usage

   • Check if multiple overlays or dialogs are stacking

   • Verify proper route management in schedule request flow

2. FlutterFlow Specific:

   • Check page transitions and navigation actions

   • Verify conditional navigation logic

   • Review state management between screens

3. State Management:

   • Ensure button states are properly managed

   • Check if multiple click handlers are attached

   • Verify async operations aren't blocking navigation

Likely Root Causes:

• Multiple navigation actions triggered simultaneously

• Incorrect use of Navigator.push() instead of replacement

• Dialog/overlay not properly dismissed before navigation

• State not properly reset after action completion

---

Success Criteria:

• [ ] Single "Accept" click completes the action

• [ ] User navigates directly to appropriate next screen

• [ ] No multiple clicks required

• [ ] Navigation flow is smooth and intuitive

• [ ] Works consistently across different schedule request scenarios

• [ ] No regression in "Decline" functionality

---

Testing Requirements:

Must Test:

• [ ] Accept flow: Single click acceptance works

• [ ] Decline flow: Ensure decline still works properly

• [ ] Different user types: Test with employee and employer users

• [ ] Multiple requests: Test with multiple pending requests

• [ ] Back navigation: Test device back button behavior

• [ ] Edge cases: Test with slow network conditions

Test Scenarios:

1. Accept single schedule request

2. Accept multiple schedule requests in sequence

3. Mix of accept/decline actions

4. Navigation using device back button

5. App backgrounding during flow

Developer Notes:

• This is a navigation/state management issue, not a UI design issue

• Focus on FlutterFlow navigation actions and page transitions

• Test thoroughly on both iOS and Android

• Ensure fix doesn't affect other navigation flows in the app

Estimated Time: 2-4 hours
