+# Session: true-80100-mso-create-fix
+**Date:** 2026-07-09
+**Project/Repo:** togadesk (1.0)
+**Task:** Fix TRUE-80100 — errors creating a manual managed service order (MSO) in togadesk; reported against the Northwell Health client but the defects are general to the shared MSO create flow.
+
+---
+
+## What WORKED
+<!-- Include specific file paths and evidence -->
+- **Server crash fix** — `desk/includes/controllers/actions/tickets/add.php:353-354`: changed `App_Page::getVar('installation')` and `getVar('access-instructions')` to `App_Page::getVarIfSet(...)`. Root cause: `App_Page::getVar()` (library/app/page.php:354) THROWS `Exception("Variable 'X' does not exist in the request headers.")` when the var is absent; the manual MSO form omits `installation`, so the onsite-service (TYPE_ONSITESERVICE) branch crashed. `getVarIfSet()` (page.php:382) returns null instead. Evidence: matched the original Sentry trace (getVar → add.php:353 → require chain); after fix, **Test 1** (user WITH an address) created the MSO successfully with no exception.
+- **Submit-validation deadlock fix** — `desk/template/modals/tickets/addNew.php` submit handler (~line 3284): validator now reads `newAddressCount = parseInt($('#newAddressCount').val())||0` and only blocks when `selectedValue==0 && newAddressCount==0`. Root cause: an existing End User with no saved address got an empty `#userlocation` dropdown + an auto-opened inline add-address form, but the validator required a non-zero dropdown pick and ignored the inline address — unresolvable deadlock. Evidence: **Test 2** (user with NO address → filled inline add-address form) created the MSO successfully.
+- **Chrome autofill hardening** — added `autocomplete` attributes: `autocomplete="off"` on `#formModal` (`desk/template/footer.php:9`); `autocomplete="new-password"` on `#new-user-password`; `autocomplete="off"` on the new-user fields, new-address fields (address1/2, city, state, zip), Summary (`#subject`), and the select2 dropdowns (`#enduser`, `#userlocation`, `#location`) in `addNew.php`. Root cause: the password field made Chrome autofill Summary/address fields (blue highlight) without firing change/input events or syncing select2, so validation saw empty values. Defensive — cannot regress the create flow. Not independently re-tested (users filled fields manually in both tests).
+- **Address data model confirmed** — the End User Address dropdown is sourced per-person from `people_addresses INNER JOIN addresses ON addresses.id = people_addresses.addressid WHERE people_addresses.peopleid = <uid>` (`desk/template/pages/getinfo.php:152-171`, db_togadesk / TOGaDeskSupport). Confirmed live: a user WITH a `people_addresses` row populates the dropdown and selects fine. Empty dropdown = that person has no `people_addresses` row (legitimate data state), not a bug.
+- **Knowledge captured & pushed** — `/capture` published to `_main`: new feature doc `1.0/apps/togadesk/features/managed-service-order-create.md` and an elevated update to `1.0/standards/backend-php.md` (getVar-throws rule). validate OK (28 repos), index 233 docs.
+- **Code pushed** — all three fixes committed and pushed to branch `TRUE-80100` in the togadesk repo; local togadesk is checked out on `TRUE-80100`.
+
+## What did NOT work — DO NOT RETRY THESE
+<!-- Exact failure reasons — do not vague-ify -->
+- **Do NOT restore the commented-out `locations` UNION in getinfo.php** (getinfo.php:95-148) as a "fix" for the empty End User Address dropdown. The empty dropdown is NOT a regression: git blame shows the per-person-only query dates to the 2021-12-06 schema migration `repair_order_addresses/primaryaddress` → `addresses/isprimary` (commit bf1abaa06, Jeff). Client/site addresses intentionally live in the `locations` table and are reached via the modal's "Select either End User or Client Location" toggle (`#checkbox` → `#servicelocation`/`#location`), enabled once a Contract is chosen. Empty per-person dropdown is expected; inline add-address is the designed fallback.
+- **Do NOT fix only add.php:353 and leave :354.** Line 354 (`access-instructions`) is the identical unguarded `getVar` on the next line and would throw immediately after 353 is fixed — both must use `getVarIfSet`.
+
+## Not tried yet (candidates for next session)
+- Independently verify the autofill fix in an incognito Chrome window (both create tests were done with manual field entry, so fix #2 was never actually exercised against live autofill).
+- Optional pre-merge hygiene: `php -l` on the 3 changed files and a `php-reviewer` pass (never run this session).
+- Sweep the rest of the MSO create block in add.php for OTHER unconditional `getVar()` reads that could throw the same way (departmentid, priority, deliveryc, warrentyStartDate, deviceAge, etc.) — deferred per developer ("just the reported crash"). Only revisit if a NEXT-field crash surfaces.
+- PR review/merge of branch `TRUE-80100` (not started).

+## Current file state
+| File | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| desk/includes/controllers/actions/tickets/add.php | Modified, committed on TRUE-80100 | Lines 353-354 `getVar`→`getVarIfSet` |
+| desk/template/footer.php | Modified, committed on TRUE-80100 | `autocomplete="off"` on `#formModal` (line 9) |
+| desk/template/modals/tickets/addNew.php | Modified, committed on TRUE-80100 | Validator deadlock fix (~3284) + `autocomplete` attrs on new-user/new-address/Summary/select2 fields |
+| desk/template/pages/getinfo.php | Read-only (no change) | Investigated only — confirmed per-person address query is correct/by-design |
+| knowledge/1.0/apps/togadesk/features/managed-service-order-create.md | Created, pushed to _main | New feature doc (MSO create flow + 3 fix gotchas) |
+| knowledge/1.0/standards/backend-php.md | Modified, pushed to _main | Added getVar-throws rule (elevated, approved) |
+
+## Decisions made
+- **Guard the read in add.php rather than fix the form to always post `installation`** (developer choice). Rationale: immediate, minimal, matches the surrounding guarded pattern; `location` becomes null when absent, which is acceptable for onsite-service. Rejected: form-side fix (larger surface) and "both".
+- **Empty End User Address dropdown is by-design, not a code bug.** Rationale: confirmed via git blame (2021 per-person migration) + live test (a user with an address works); client locations are a separate intentional path via the toggle. Rejected: restoring the `locations` UNION.
+- **Promote the getVar-throws rule to the elevated 1.0 backend-php standard** (developer approved). Rationale: `getVar` throwing vs `getVarIfSet` returning null is App_-framework-wide, not togadesk-specific; it's a recurring 1.0 crash class.
+- **No client doc for Northwell.** Rationale: Northwell was only the reporting client; the defects and knowledge are shared/internal to the togadesk MSO flow.
+
+## Blockers
+none — all three fixes verified for the two create paths and pushed; knowledge published.
+
+## Exact next step
+> This task is essentially complete. If anything remains: open branch `TRUE-80100` for PR review/merge, and optionally verify the autofill fix (#2) in an incognito Chrome window since both create tests used manual field entry (autofill was never exercised).
