Description

[Vicky Chin [:vchin]]

STR:

1. Navigate to https://my.pmi.org/account/payment-methods
2. Edit the saved credit card
3. Autofill with Firefox

Outcome: Even though the saved credit card in the profile has the new expiry date the old expiry date is autofilled

Expected: The new expiry date is autofilled

Looks like we don't recognize that the field is already filled by the user so when we autofill, we still update the user-filled field.

The severity field is not set for this bug.
:serg, could you have a look please?

This is because when a user updates the expiry date, the website changes the defaultValue to the value users just set. Our current behavior is when we see element.value === element.defaultValue, we thinks the current is prefilled by the website so we overwrite it.

A possible solution is detecting whether the defaultValue itself is changed, if yes, consider it as the user has updated the field's value.
